Sri Lanka s breakaway rebel party, Tamileela Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) political chief, Shivaneshdorai Chandrakanthan alias Pillayan said that the Tamils in the East now have the opportunity to elect a Tamil Chief Minister to the Eastern Province.
Speaking at an election rally held at Eravur in Batticaloa yesterday, Pillayan assured that no one would be able to stop this become a reality if the people in the East back his party at the upcoming Provincial Council elections.
We have corrected the mistakes that had been done earlier. We have chosen the correct path. We have built close relationships with the present government. They (Government) have given us many promises and to make use of these promises we need your support, he told the people.
He said that TMVP is contesting for 15 electorates in the East with the government and if it could win all those electorates, his party would become the one that has won largest number of seats under the UPFA. Then, no one would be able to stop a Tamil to become a Chief Minster, he added.
He said, the people in the East have got the opportunity to cast their votes at this election in support of the political structure they have been looking for, the leadership and the socio-economic development they wanted.

Avurudu celebrations in the East are set to begin. The most interesting will be the Chief Minister Tug'o'War between Pillayan and Hisbullah.
Both have been promised the Chief Ministerial portfolio by the 'Organisers' if the UPFA emerges victorious!
The people will be able to witness a few more assasinations very very soon!

This CM will be under the hegemony of the Sinhalese President, does it matter if he is a Muslim or Tamil?
Unless the supremacist president at the Centre switches on the main supply of funds or yield powers to do anything useful in the East the CM is a dead duck. The Sinhalese president can sack the CM and dissolve the PC if he does not like him or the working of the PC.
This CM will be a puppet of president Mahinda Rajapakse and his brothers. |
