The Presidential election is getting a bit rough and creating enmity between the people. No one is perfect in Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka is full of developed racism, discrimination and oppression among people. Tamils of course are like FOX, standing firm on caste oppression and thinking that only the elites have brains and knowledge. My knowledge over the last 81 years proves that Tamils in the North are racists and saturated with caste issues. SJVC Chelvanayagam formed the FP because he was not given a minister post, but GGP was given. The personal ego of people developed and directed towards racism toward the Sinhala people. Ponnambalam Ramanathan is another coward married to a white woman who turned a blind eye to the developing merging of the three kingdoms. Politicians and elites are only eager to get into power for wealth.

Let us know the black marks stamped on the present politicians.

1. Rajapaksas   – (Namal) No one needs to prove that the Rajapaksas pushed the country to poverty and zero dollars. The Rajapaksas practised nepotism, bribery and corruption very heavily, however, with power and silently. Every corporation, and government sector was manned by a Rajapaksa which resulted in loss and inefficiency. The Rajapaksa, not anyone in their family could govern Sri Lanka. Gotabaya was a complete terror and incompetent person.  Namal R should be defeated by the people.
2. Anura K Dissanayake        –           Everyone knows that JVP launched a terrorist attack in 1971, just before SL was preparing to become Republic in 1972. Lots of lives were lost and assets were destroyed. The main question is: who prompted and activated this attack? Where did all the cadres go to live? Further, JVP has a Communistic and Socialist policy which is not at all suitable for SL. The majority of the people in SL are capitalistic and industrious mind. The government has practised socialist policies of helping the people with health and education since independence. British is the key country which is socialist. With due respect, I would like to state that Anura is weak in communication with the people and the external world. AKD has never been in the cabinet or held a ministerial position. It will be a severe threat to the nation if people want to bring AKD as the leader.
3. Hon Ranil Wickremasinghe (RW)           –           Yes, do we know that RW solved the economic issue permanently? NO! The economic issue was never solved. Still, RW allows the import of luxury cars to people on political grounds. The parity of the state of the currency rate has increased. RW has become, possibly a slave to India. What are the black marks on RW?
   1. CFA    -Cease Fire Agreement in 2002. This was a detrimental disaster to the nation thereafter. Major heavy weapons, aircrafts, and military ancillaries were transported to the Mullivaykal. The military was silenced. Most of the LTTE cadres escaped to foreign countries.
   1. Karuna Issue.           This was another disaster in the peace process. LTTE commenced manufacturing heavy weapons in Mullivaykal. Millions of dollars were lost in SL.
   1. Central Bank BOND issue. -This was never solved. This led the country to a downfall in economic perspectives.
   1. RW was never elected as the President.   RW became the acting President and was subsequently elected as the 9th President of Sri Lanka by Parliament on 20 July 2022. He took office the following day. He did contest the presidential elections a couple of times and lost.
   1. Is RW still importing luxury cars for his mates?
   1. Yes, he did get loans. LOANS? Yes, anyone can get loans if they can communicate.
   1. RW is back on board to the bridge building between Talai Mannar and Rameswaram. There are flights from Tamil Nadu to Jaffna and ships ploughing to KKS. Who will bear the cost? Do we need the bridge between India and SL? Indians, historically waged war on SL and plundered the wealth in SL. They built temples and plundered wealth. Did they develop SL?
   1. India was responsible for the terrorist attacks on SL and the destruction of assets in SL. Indira Gandhi, MGR, and Tamil Nadu were responsible for the destruction and appreciation of the LTTE and other groups. Indirectly India is responsible for the destruction of the Cement factory and other assets.
   1. SL is not a colony of India. India preaches RSS. Why does Jai Shanker plough to SL like a seagull? India has problems in their East, West, and the North. The Indian PM is not the SL governor.
   1. Has RW become a slave to India?

RW has a significant number of black marks on him to rule SL.

• Sajith Premadasa (SP)   – So far SP has not been stamped with any black marks on him to my knowledge. He may be a suitable candidate for the Presidential Position. SP has the courage, patriotism and dedication to rule SL. SP can converse with foreign politicians quite well. SP is a non-racial person. We all know the late Hon. R. Premadasa.

ALL Sri Lankans shall consider assessing each candidate and not fall for lies and bloating but vote for Sajith Premadasa.
