I like to see MR winning another term to finish what he started. But this kind of acts – if done by MR’s supporters – not going to win any votes!
Of course Indra, there are many things which we like but we are unable to achieve them; that’s karma.
A Rajapaksa victory will be decisive in terms of SL’s history. It will be a turning point of no return.
In my considered opinion, based on facts, past performance and the characters who are opposing Mahinda Rajapaksa, a Rajapaksa victory will auger well for our nation.
However, in the past 66 years of our independence, the masses of Sri Lanka have voted for leaders who, primarily, did not relate to aspirations of the people.
When we look back at the past 66 years, there are many “if’s” and “but’s”. However, the nation has not only survived but grown. Inequality is high in our land but survival is guaranteed for those who try.
