What Yapa meant when he said 'minority interests' was the interest money Mahinda collected from putting Helping Hambantota money in his private bank account...
What other interest would Mahinda possible having on anything?
These stupid journalists, they can never listen and get their facts straight!! |

Dear Kaduvan, Mucha and Nada,
I have maintained this for the last 2-3 weeks. Not a single Singhalese Buddhist refuted what I said. I also pasted a article reporting the Celebration/meeting of all Karawa community in southern Sri Lanka about 3 weeks ago.
Mahinda is from the Mihindu kula caste/tribe. Earlier name was Mahendra Percy.Still one of the brothers has not changed his name and that is Basil.
Karawa community is originally Tamil catholics from South India. He is one like Warnasena Rasaputram whose family I know personally well.Their relatives Tamil catholics are known to me.
Mahinda is not Singhala Buddhist by birth. He is only a practising Buddhist if at all. He is definitely NOT SINGHALA. All politicians are using him to achieve their goals. MAHINDA IS TAMIL BLOOD.

Lokka,
I agree that he is showing stupid. He seems a Silent Operator. Good examples are the P-Toms and Anti conversion bill. He was dragging on the Conversion bill for sometime until US came forward officially protesting the draft bill. He managed to neutralise the Christians and CAN always claim that he helped the Christians and win them, atleast his own Religion's Catholic votes in the Karawa community down south.
I believe that he is taking a calculated risk in his political career. Even if he loses, he will have a good hold in the SLFP. He managed to distance himself from CBK by branding the Manifesto in his name and not the party.
He is basically trying to copy what Mr. Premadasa did asking for the vote in his personal name.
Since the only credential that he has is Singhala Buddhist as presented, he is not campaigning but his colleagues and alliance members are.
If the public doesn't care about Peace in the country and are willing to live in misery and also dismiss the Tsunami victims, then Mahinda will win this election.

That is interesting. Honestly, this is the first time I hear that. Anyway, I do not care what the caste or the breed of MR is as long as he can keep Ponseka away from Presidency.
In fact, I too have previously heard (In Anura B's latest press releace) that MR's brother's name is Basil, and wondered how he has got a Christian name when his brother's name is very Buddhist.
About the Karawa caste, I think your explanation applys only to some of them in that caste. There was an article in one of the SL papers in which some Sinhala Karawa bloke from around Puttalam argued that Prabhakaran also belonging to their cast, who settled down in SL after their caste was chased away from an area closer to Knya Kumari in South India, by a mighty Tamil king who wanted to marry one of their girls. According to him, their ancestors sailed Southwards and landed at 2 different places in SL. One group set thier feet at Velvetithurai whereas others landed at Mannar. Group landed at Mannar became Sinhalas and that landed in Velvetithurai became Tamils..!!

People should not hold one's race or religion against them.
If you are trying to say that he is pretending he is one thing while being something else then one can take issue with that, but I don't think he is misleading a lot of people because I think people simply don't care. To be frank, for most Sinhala-Buddhists zealots it doesn't matter if it is George Bush or even V. Prabakaram who is leading their cause as long as they think they are getting what they want. Don't ask me what they want, I don't know. I don't think it's anything to do with what they want, it's more about keeping others in their place - I guess. For me, my biggest bugaboo with him is that he pretends to be a 'common man' when he is not; this does a lot of harm to southern simpletons by keeping them away form self-reliance.
This is nothing new, the last king Rajasinghe of SL, was a minor prince from south India, I don't think he was born here (I stand to be corrected on where he was born part), there was so much disunity among the Sinhalese that they could not agree to one of their own so they had to bring some one from outside and ask him to pretend that he was one of their own! You think anything much has changed in 200 years? This is not to denigrate anyone but to put the record straight.
To me, I don't care if our next president is a monkey as long as he is competent, honest and doesn't destroy the country. I've had it with humans!

Agreed.
He did take a calculated risk. But in my view, where his calculation went wrong is when he decided to side with extremists.
Although the SLFP was able to win a general election that way, it is not possible for him to win a presidential election. A presidential election is the popular vote -- 50% + 1.
Like you said, if the people want to live in misery, they can vote for Mahinda. The people will get what they deserve. |

Hellogoodbye,
Appreciate your comments. Let me just copy a part of what you said:
I don't think he is misleading a lot of people because I think people simply don't care. To be frank, for most Sinhala-Buddhists zealots it doesn't matter if it is George Bush or even V. Prabakaram who is leading their cause as long as they think they are getting what they want
I personally don't think that he is misleading the people with his politically motivated identity. But all the crooks around him confer all kinds of Title and show him as a different entity altogether.
You say that for Singhala buddhist zealots it doesn't matter who is leading their cause; implying that it's your belly that should be filled by improvising anything into anything for the benefit of Singhalese.
Why should this rule not apply to Tamils. When Tamils ask for equal rights, the Singhalese are acting like a chicken in a hot water bucket. Whereas singhalese politicians are prepared to shower all cosmetics on a Tamil Catholic to achieve the wants and needs of the Singhalese.
If at all Mahinda wins, he should win only with Singhala Buddhist votes. He is not even worth to earn charitable votes from the Minorities when he has aligned with extremists who dont have an iota of impartiality.
