Chandrika´s son to take to politics

It had been reported that Chandrika´s son, Vimukthi Kumaratunga, is to take to politics. Initially CBK had claimed that she did not want her children to take to this dirty game. Now that CBK is in control of the party this is not surprising. But if Mahinda Rajapakse had won, it would have been not that easy for him to get nominations from the SLFP. So no wonder CBK tried to topple Mahinda. Family bandyism is not unusual in Sri Lankan and Indian politics. After SWRD, Sirimavo took over. This was followed by Chandrika and Anura. DS Senanayake got his son to do politics and made him PM. Sir John was a different kettle of fish. Ranil is related to JRJ. Sajith took to politics after his father. There were allegations against MR about family bandyism. In provincial councils as well the pattern is the same.
CBK left politics saying that she will never come back. And said that she will not even encourage her children to take to politics. But politicians know that there are plums in politics. After the faked documentary ´´Killing Fields´´ was shown by Channel 4, she said that her children felt sorry for the LTTE and were in tear. In contrast , there were strong protests by the people and the govt against Channel 4.
In India, the Gandhi family is involved in politics despite assassinations and disasters. Indhira Gandhi was killed by her Sikh bodyguards. Rajiv was killed by a LTTE suicide bomber. In Sri Lanka as well things were not that different. CBK´s father and husband had been assassinated as well. She was nearly killed by a suicide bomber. We have to be thankful to MR, Gotabhaya Rajapakse and Sarath Fonseka for wiping out the terrorists. And now CBK et al demonstrate their bravery on TV interviews and claim that the war victory was due to their efforts. With this new development, it has come to light that CBK´s whole exercise of uprooting Mahinda Rajapakse was to introduce her son Vimukthi to politics.

OH my God why she wanted to do that to bring her dumb son to enter in to Sri Lankan politics? What a pity. What he can do here without knowing even the language well. Once CBK said that they were ashamed to be called a Sri Lankan then how come she decide to bring her son here. She thinks we are all drunkards and fools like her and accept him with our open arms. Bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!. Go and sleep CBK and allow us to live in Peace.
