Balm lion going to Tiger territory
Saturday, 15 October 2005 - 3:09 AM SL Time

Eksath Lanka Podujana Party Presidential Candidate Victor Hettigoda - popularly known as Siddhalepa WedaMahaththaya ' will travel to Kilinochchi within the next two weeks as part of his campaign for the upcoming elections. He will be the first presidential candidate to personally campaign in Tiger controlled areas.

'I received a good reception when I visited the area last year and hope for a similar reception this year too, 'Mr. Hettigoda told the Daily Mirror.

Commenting on a recent statement made by LTTE Political Wing Leader S.P. Thamilselvan that the LTTE would allow anybody to campaign in the areas under Tiger control, Mr. Hettigoda said it came as a result of a request made by him to the LTTE.

In a bid to bring the Tigers into mainstream politics, Mr. Hettigoda reiterated his pledge to give cabinet portfolios to LTTE leaders if he was elected to office.

He lashed out at the two main candidates Ranil Wickremesinghe and Mahinda Rajapakse claiming they were trying to get elected as President by by giving false promises. He also charged that Colombo based businessmen were funding the campaigns of the main candidates and thereby falling into their traps

' I am poor but I will win the election and become the president of this country on November 17th ' Mr. Hettigoda said in a confident tone.

Visualize Velu Phabha, under the palm ayah tree, bare bodied, in a vershti, a shell of the finest coconut toddy in his hand & a vadai for a bite.

Dreaming of being the vice President in Hettigoda's cabinet.

The wife comes with a vial of the best that Sidhalepha can make & rubs it on his forehead with all the love she has for the great man.

A fantastic TV commercial, a definite winner in the ratings.

Malship,

I agree. A picture of Victor having a laugh over a pot of toddy with Prabha under a coconut tree in the Vanni may be the clincher for Victor's victory.

But would the Yak Jo clan in the South appreciate the significance of such an event and vote for Victor?

Malship and piranha,
it was fun to read both of your posts. I can visualize apai' Weda Mahaththaya putting a 'Paththuwa' to Prabha's bleeding Hemorrhoid.

Magha: Then you will be personally giving your seal of approval.

A quality control check by the Senior Member Magha, I breathe a sigh of relief.

I do not want anything unfortunate to happen to the great Prabha.

Mal,
I hope apai Wedamahathaya is not up to any mischief. The fact of aging we have not considered here.

Magha: Naki Visai, this Vedamahathya, might come back rejuvenated.

If he wins, each home will get a cow.

Wow, I must get back to SL.

Munirani, 31 days to go.

' Child friars ', --- English, English. Very very bad.

Would you like the TRO to sponsor you
