If you get Chandrike to contest under the UNP she will certainly do much better than this puffter Ranil , she may even win elections on the UNP ticket,,,, these days even traditional UNP ers are voting for other parties as a protest vote,, the ponnaya doesnt realise this,, he has no insight!!

The topic of this news item seems to be the truth that slipped from Karu’s lips or rather his pen. “Leave a party worth fighiting for” Once you left this party worth fighing for. Are you appealing to other members to leave the party though it is worth fighting for?

I blame Mr RW for getting this man again to the party who destroyed it.

Now please do not allow him to issue ideas to meadia this way.
True UNPers than Karu(normal voting citizens of Sri Lanka who never change party have right to advise karu not vise versa) get wild to listen this man who destroyed the UNP most. We sense of impending dangers of struggle for leadership the day Ranil leave the party.And also dont fall into gov traps as if any loose word go out from UNP leaders mouth it will be highlighted and party will loose popularity. Finally all bad outcome come on to you while good go to other side.Some people try to destroy party invoking religious deferences they not only divide on religion but also with mother-tongue.
Keep aside all the differences such as religion or language we all born to this world without anything and goes without anything.But till we die do best to improve the country and live rich peacefully.

although, I agree with Karu, may I as many others comments herein blame u for opening the flood gates by fleeing with 17 others for ministerial perks, and with that u lost whatever regard u had in the country.Later, u desert your followers and come back to your old party that brought you to politics to NOW speak of unity. Will u also agree that all those left and behind and u are resposible for the dictatorial actions of this govt. U should jump into the BEIRA.

Mr.Jayasuriya,
It is time you took a serious look at failed policies of the UNP and its leadership during the last few years. You or your party had no policies that appealed to the masses. Your leadership was bent on deviding the country. There were no hopes given to the general public as your leadership ignored the plight of the masses. Even now, your party has no plans to fight employement, housing, provide opportunities for our youth for higher education, and in general no proposals to aleviate the poor masses. Wake up and get rid of the old leadership and give an opportunity for the up and coming young leadership to take over the reigns. Good Luck Mr. Jayasuriya and bye.
Henry

Born Again Christianity is in full force within the party left fighting for. The financial top notch who is also an Christian Preacher, Mr. E Wickramaratne is now in the Parliament thanks to RW. What about the other great party supporters who has worked tirelessly? They are left out. If UNP to move on further and market for the votes, UNP will have to come clean. The majority Sinhala, Buddhist Nation will not stand to defend a Party with hidden agendas. RW will have to resign with dignity with is altar boys who are following him, if UNP is to be revived. People are not fools. We saw what happened to SF. It’s a known fact that Governing party loves to have RW in his current position. With RW and his advisers in place, UNP will not move forward. Karu, you can sit in the back seat for very long time. Karu, you left the party and you came back. This tells us that you are not genuinely supporting the GOP. Any one who left UNP to join other parties should never be allowed to join back. My vote is for Sajith who has silently done lot of work in the South. Karu, you can talk all you want but for the present situation with GOP, you are also to be blamed. As party member, you kept your mouth shut and jumped out of your loyalties to gain individual satisfaction when RW was running the party to the ground. According to some UNP members, they are not happy at all with the present rift deep in side the party. UNP is shifting away very fast from Buddhist values.

Karu is voicing the right sentiments at the wrong time. He is another priviledged Colombo Politician. Malik is another sidekick who really will do anything to keep Ranil (His School Mate) in power and retained the leadership of the UNP within the Colombo Priviledged circle. According Karu;”“This party is founded on honorable principles and the efforts of great men who to this day are regarded as the heroes of this nation…” He is right about the founding principles but the Colombo gang has failed to uphold thes noble principles. If democracy to survive in Sri Lanka, we have to get rid of Dictators like Ranil, and others in power . The power must be given to the people back through rightfully elected members of the parliaments; Not the condesending priviledged bunch of families, thugs, merchants of misery, traders of national wealth, kings of percentage takers for selling national wealth, abuser of buddhist doctrine etc.. . Tinkering with amendments (13 and17) all are artificial changes designed to cheat the people and keep the power in the ands of few families. We need a real change within UNP and within the political system in Sri Lanka in order to solve all national problems.
