(Lanka-e-News -02.Oct.2013, 9.00PM) Based on Temple trees informed sources , MaRa is making moves to axe Prime Minister D.M.Jayaratne’s son Anuradha Jayaratne attorney at law who polled the highest number of preferential votes , and appoint ex chief Minister Sarath Ekanayake to the post of chief Minister of Central province , and latter’s swearing in is scheduled to take place tomorrow.Meanwhile , Dayasiri Jayasekera who somersaulted from the UNP to the MaRa camp is to be appointed as the chief Minister of Wayambe. He is also to be sworn in tomorrow.
This axing of seniors of the SLFP by the Medamulana Rajapakses is in keeping with their favorite habit and hobby . Anuradhapura Berty Premalal too was undercut and his security guard was made the chief Minister which led to Premalal’s death through worry and pain of mind. It is to be noted that neither Mahinda Rajapakse nor Basil Rajapakse attended the funeral . Truly , it is the consensus Premalal did not die due to natural causes , rather he was ‘killed’ by the Rajapakses. Mourners too at the funeral raised a huge hue and cry.
The axing of Anuradha Jayaratne who polled the largest number of preferential votes is another huge insult inflicted on a senior SLFP er , his father D .M Jayaratne , the Prime Minister .
In fact the Prime Minister (P.M.) directly questioned why his son who polled the most number of preferential votes and despite being his son he was not appointed to the chief Minister post , and Parliament speaker’s son Shashindra Rajapakse was appointed as the chief Minister of Uva province. The Prime Minister also pinpointed that when Shashindra was appointed as the chief Minister his only qualification was that he had been a private secretary to a Prime Minister whereas , his son Anuradha Jayaratne is the private secretary to the present Prime Minister. Moreover Anuradha is a lawyer unlike Shashindra who is just another ordinary bloke , D.M. Jayaratne emphasized.
