With the government increasing fuel prices and now even the tax on motor vehicles it seems even tourists visiting the island feel the best and cheapest way to travel is on a push cycle.

He is on the wanted list but the police do not seem to think so.

Ayurvedic Roundabout Rajagiriya (Size 20 x 40 feet), Near the Welikada Prison (Size 10 x 40 feet), Fort Railway Station (size 20 x 20 feet) and Narahenpitiya (Size 8 x 16 feet)

From the largest one found at the Ayurveda roundabout in Rajigiriya, which stands at a massive 20 feet by 40 feet, to the comparatively smaller ones found on Baseline Road which are 8 feet by 16 feet, the hoardings of President Mahinda Rajapaksa are a frequent phenomena to behold by anyone who travels in and around Colombo. Outside the Fort Railway Station stands another giant sized hoarding of 20 feet by 20 feet and another one close to the Welikada Prison which is 10 feet by 40 feet in size. Rajapaksa is clearly ensuring that his subjects will have no illusions. At least not about himself.
