MP Nimal Lansa is building a new party to support the President with a
group of independent members of the Podujana Peramuna and with the
opposition. It is said that a large number of MPs of Podujana Peramuna
have already contacted MP Nimal Lansa of their adherence. MP Anura
Yapa is expected to be appointed as the chairman of this party. It is
also revealed that the party’s future campaign activities are being
carried out by Siripala Amarasinghe and Military Nandasena’s private
secretary Sugeeswara Bandara. Siripala Amarasinghe is negotiating to
involve the local politicians who were associated with the Podujana
Peramuna to the new party. Siripala Amarasinghe did all the
organizational work from the back office during the establishment of
the Podujana Peramuna.
It has been reported that Basil Rajapaksa has become uneasy about the
crisis that has arisen in the Podujana Peramuna. He has discussed
about this with the President to resolve the crisis, but the President
has not paid any attention to it.
Many MPs representing Podujana Peramuna who are connected to Nimal
Lansa’s party are not happy about Namal Rajapaksa MP. Their opinion is
that the party politics of the Rajapaksa’s is now over.
In the midst of this incident, it has been revealed that Namal
Rajapaksa MP is planning to join the opposition in the Parliament with
a group of pro Rajapaksa seniors with the Podujana Peramuna who are
currently not given ministerial positions. The plan of MP Namal
Rajapakse is to acquire the opposition leadership. But we have doubts
about whether that expectation will be fulfilled. However there is not
a good picture of Namal Rajapaksa among the MPs currently representing
the opposition.
Lankadawasa has also heard that members of the Namal Rajapakse party
are secretly planning to launch a mudsling against the group of
parliamentarians, including Nimal Lansa, who is supporting the
President.
But this is the last hour of Namal Rajapaksa MP’s devious politics.
Our opinion is that he will become a joker in the political landscape
of this country in the near future.
