Mahinda cheated himself transporting the same crowd in buses to every venue: No nominations to Mahinda is Maithri’s decisive answer

(Lanka-e-News- 03.July.2015, 1.30PMM) Deposed people discarded Mahinda Rajapakse who was thrown out lock ,stock and barrel by the people on 8 th January will not be given nomination under the SLFP or the UPFA at the forthcoming general elections , president Maithripala Sirisena making an official statement declared in no uncertain terms. He confirmed this to dispel any  doubt that still remained in the minds of the people when he met with the UPFA party leaders this evening. 

This discussion was held at  the presidential secretariat  with the participation of the  other parties except the JHU and lasted about an  hour. Some   party leaders however pleaded with  the president to somehow consider giving nomination to Mahinda Rajapakse under the UPFA or SLFP pointing out that this is what the people are actually requesting.

The president categorically rejecting this request replied , if truly there is such a view among the people , he (president) would not have won at the presidential elections on 8 th January.

The president went on to explain to these party leaders that he is not that politically bankrupt to fail to  understand the false ostentations of politicians who through media circuses and false publicity gimmicks try to portray that they are popular among the people , and they are sought after. 

Mahinda Rajapakse seems to have still not realized that he has cheated himself by transporting the same crowd in buses to every venue . Apparently , Mahinda has still not learnt a lesson even after these devastating and humiliating experiences , Maithripala added. All what he (president) can do is feel sorry for Mahinda’s  folly , however  no evil  can be allowed to befall the country after taking them into the fold ,and that he cannot experiment, the president emphasized. 

The leaders who are the stooges of Mahinda ,after receiving a firm and decisive answer from the president , having nothing to say or think , ultimately said following the unsuccessful discussion, they would announce their final decision tomorrow.
Going by  the stern stance taken by the president , not only Mahinda Rajapakse who divided and devastated the SLFP, but even Namal Rajapakse  will not be granted nominations .

Interestingly , Mahinda Rajapakse who won 144 seats at the 2010 presidential elections , went to Medamulana yesterday with high hopes to play havoc again, but with   only 18 M.P.s . This bears clear testimony that a vast majority  has accepted Maithripala’s leadership and his official team.
