Misleaders
Today there are enemies of the nation trying to mislead you all. They are telling you to buy petrol at Rs. 100. Iam offering you petrol at Rs. 120. Whom will you buffaloes support? I know that you will take my offer at Rs.120. Whatever I have done in the past you have supported me. How else could we have won the war?
We of the ruling party do not intend to pocket the extra Rs. 20 per litre from petrol. It will be spent on you the people. I have already spent Rs. 2 billion on a budget airline for poor housemaids to travel. It was grounded for the lack of funds. Now with this income from petrol we will be back in the air.
We need funds for development - for the benefit of the poor. We need about $ 45 million for the purchase of this five star hotel. This is for the Port Development Authority office - the office of the poor workers. Aren't poor workers entitled to work in five star hotels?
We South Asians are all buffaloes. Last week the Bangladeshis elected a cow buffalo as their leader. The contest was between two cow buffaloes. Both had been prime ministers before. This cow buffalo was elected for the third time despite being jailed for corruption. What are buffaloes for?
Victory at hand
Now we are close to our biggest achievement - victory against terrorism. Soon we will capture Killinochchi and our victory will be sealed. For that to happen two things will have to be done. We will have to win the provincial councils elections for the Central Province and the North Western Province.
If we lose these two elections our troops will be demoralised and victory against terrorism will not be possible. Iam certain you will support me in this national endeavour. You have done it so many times, the last occasion being the victories at North Central Province and Sabaragamuwa.
Like faithful buffaloes you will trudge the fields unquestionably for me and of course the nation, as before. It will not be my victory but yours. Victory is in your hands. Don't be fooled by gimmicks such as petrol at Rs. 100.
