SLFP of SWRD died on 15 January,2015, when Party leadersip was handed over to Maithripala Sirisena.

By Charles.S.Perera.
SWRD broke away from the UNP to form the SLFP in terms of his political philosophy. Chandrika Kumaratunga despite being the daughter of SWRD did not follow her father’s political views and was never his political heir. Therefore, after Mrs.Bandaranayake the heir of SWRD’s political party SLFP was Mahinda Rajapakse.
Mahinda Rajapakse was faced with a problem of having to stop the SLFP breaking up after his defeat at the Presidential election, in the wake of Maithripala Sirisena’s scandalous abandoning the SLFP in seek of greener pastures in the UNP. A few ambition Ministerial portfolio seekers were already beginning to trickle away from SLFP to stand by Maithripala Sirisena.
The President Mahinda Rajapakse was quite aware, that Maithripala Sirisena who walked away to the UNP seeking his own political liberation from SLFP, did not have a political philosophy or principle any where close to SWRD . Nevertheless, Rajapakse handed over its leadership to Maithripala Sirisena to avoid a break up of the SLFP which he loved, as much as his father who had a hand in helping SWRD to organise the SLFP.
It is evident that Maithripala Sirisena’s SLFP is meant to be a party of the ambitious political power seekers, a part of the UNP, the Tamil Racists, Arabised Muslims, Catholic and Colombian Sinhala.
Further more SLFP of Maithripala Sirisena is not of Sri Lanka’s Pancha Maha Balavegaya , nor of the patriotic sons of the land who are ready to lay down their lives to protect the country to preserve its 2600 years old Buddhism, and its Buddhist cultural identity which makes Sri Lanka the only country of its unique ancient traditions. Even USA, and the West cannot be proud of such an illustrious past as that of Sri Lanka.
Therefore, SWRD Bandaranayake’s SLFP having had met with an unnatural death on the 16th January,2015, it is well that a new political party springs from the ashes of the old-SLPJP.
In forming the SLFP SWRD Bandaranayake was taking a risk as he was breaking away from the then capitalist class of Sri Lanka, influential over the poor Sinhala people bound by feudal rights, land tenure, and caste obligations. But the people were awaiting a saviour- a Diyasena to take them away into another political direction.
Hence the new founded Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna would be an extension of the political philosophy of SWRD which would conveniently replace his SLFP which has now taken a different shade from the political philosophy and principles it was meant to represent.
But the risks that the organisers of the Sri Lanka Podu Jana Peramuna-SLPJP are taking today are much greater than those SWRD had to take when he organised the SLFP.
There are not only local politicos spitting their salivated poisons and level castigations like the future Presidential hopeful Champika Ranawaka, but also NGOs and foreign secret service agents, specially those of the RAW, MI5,CIA etc., with their pockets full of dollars roaming about trying to buy over politicians from the Mahinda Rajapakse Camp. Their presence could be imagined from the recent walk out of some members of the NFF of Wimal Weerawansa.
Therefore, every member of the SLPJP should take an oath to be dedicated to the cause of keeping Sri Lanka a unitary Nation, without encouraging, by thought, word or action any attempt by any one to divide the country amoung the Tamil, Muslims and Sinhala, and they would remain united with the Party under all circumstances and promise not to sell the country through temptation for money, rank or position.

Agreed. The SLFP is dead.
I too like the happening of the last paragraph but it will not happen. Even if it happens, they will not hold it. SLPP has no policy on anything. They expect disgruntled voters to vote for them. This is good for a small party (like the JVP). As a result, SLPP will be able to win a sizable number of votes in non-national elections. It will be unable to win a national election. SLPP must recognise the work of Weerawansa and NFF. If SLPP ends up another family party, then it cannot go far.

In 1951 India and wealthy Indian parasites in Ceylon got Banda to leave the UNP. They financed the SLFP and set policies, procedures and practices that destroyed the Sinhalese. Since 1956 except for few years the country was run by leaders favored by India and Indian Parasites; Banda family and JRJ. India favored Mahinda and backed him in 2005 thinking he will be another Banda. But for India and Indian parasites here Mahinda did not follow their line. So India got Sarath Fonseka in 2010 and failed but succeeded in 2015 with Sirisena thanks to daughter of SWRD.

You don’t need to be a professor of Statistics or Mathematics to see what Indians did in 2005 and 2015. There is a sizable Indian Parasite block vote of about one and a half million. Then the same amount of Muslim and Christians. Six million of Sinhala Buddhists. Divide the Six million to pieces then alienate Muslim and Christian vote to one of the pieces and the Indian Parasite block vote decides the winners. This is the formula the Indian appointed regime is relying on.
The only solution is for the majority to unite and face the elections.

Dear Charles
We eagerly wait for the election forecast of our Guru, Mr Dilrook Kannangara. Obviously Dilrook need space and time to analyse, as historical analysis may or may not be reflected due to new changes in delimitations in electoral precincts, and composition.
These new laws are destined to favour minorities, I think. But lets wait.

Why are we so excited on this “crook election” which devolve power to muderers, rapists, drugies and illicit alchohol manufacturers ? It can’t do anything to Main Crook Ranil and his subordinates and ex-Rajapakse subordinates now hanging on to falling Sarong of Sira.
We should still think of a way to send this crooks to jail and save thew country. Looks like no one here intersted in it.

If the party in power then (the SLFP) was almost completely identified with Rajapaksa during his administration, it only meant that he provided a defining leadership to it, which people accepted. It is well known that the January 8 regime change was done through a conspiracy, and made to survive through such fraudulent means as the manipulation of the voter turnout. The massive crowd at the Badulla rally of the Sri Lanka Podujana Pakshaya held yesterday (December 4, 2017) shows how extensively the electorate has been finally disabused of their earlier misconceptions regarding Rajapaksa. The SLFP that was buried alive by Sirisena is now being reincarnated in the form of the SLPP.

What SLFP did in practice is directly opposite to what Mahinda did. For example take the development projects by Mahinda that helped the Sinhalese and Sinhalese entrepreneurs. Building schools and making English the medium of instructions like the one in Homagama. Please look at things as they are and think properly. If Mahinda did what the earlier SLFP did India would have not got Sirisena regime.
The only solution for the Sinhalese is to unite and back a proven leader of Sinhalese that is Mahinda at the moment.

Sirisena is an empty box, nothing in it. He simply hated Mahinda Rajapaksa for not making him the Prime minister. He won the election through a conspiracy and cheating. He gave the premiership to a person who lost 22times in elections and stopped all the avenues for Mahinda to come to power. He is a traitor not only to the party but to the whole nation by allowing UNP to steal the public funds and allowing them to sell government properties as they pleased. He don’t have guts to stop Tamil or Muslim extremists who destroy land, buddhist cultural sites, forests etc. He made our country null and void through his heartless, boneless, spineless character. He has no vision or any new ideas on his head except taking revenge from his former boss and his team of war heroes. Let’s see what he will do to Ranil his god father after he gets the bond scam report. We are watching and waiting. Vote for pohottuwa to start a new beginning.

Indians never won. Rama ran away with Seetha, who had eloped and had a good time with Rawana. Indian Colonial Parasites are wining from time to time but at the end of the day they will loose.
