CM Jayasiri Jayasekera has natural, inbuilt leadership characteristics. As CM, I foresee Dayasiri following Hon Chandrika B’s footsteps to the Janadhipathi Mandiraya at the next elections.
Dayasiri is the only leader amongst the current crop to boldly walk out of deadwood UNP. Chandrika did so too. Dayasiri will return shortly to the the UNP’s helm and reach Janadhipathi Mandiraya thereafter.
Well done, dear Dayasiri, I wish you well.
UNP could see now how powerful was their Dayasiri Jayasekera and they have lost a golden strong person from the Kurunegala District, and his departure did effect directly in all the electorates in Sri Lanka as the UNP base vote got reduced drastically.
Congratulations to Hon Dayasiri jayasekara,Hon.jayasiri would never dreamt of reaching janadhipathi Mandiriya.It is Hon.Ranil uncles Party,UNCLE,NEPHEW PARTY(UNP)would always select kith.kin to reach JM.Are you a Astrolger?
Good Luck and Ayubowewa
Anoma P, Blogger 1, is spot-on. I expect Dayasiri to get things started in his province and let the petty squabbles in the UNP hierarchy continue to fester.
RW has no leadership qualities nor is he gifted with the intellect and shroudness of his uncle and his father. The other young man who has been bearting in public has also let down his supporters. He appears to have some theoretical concepts in politics but he is too deep into the political charade of his father. In the last couple of weeks, SP has lost whatever iota of credibility he had.
Mr MS does not belong in the UNP; he is blue and perhaps, he is CBK’s spy in the UNP.
Karu J has no grassroot support’ time he retired.
So that leaves us with none other than DAYASIRI. The UNP is rapidly deteriorating into oblivion; the voter base will soon drop to the levels we saw in the NP; it is <0.2%. When Dayasiri's poularity rises in his role as CM, I sincerely hope he heeds the distress call of the UNP and return to the UNP to lead it to power in the next elecyion.
