The president is due to open the newest rice mill owned by Matale district MP, well-known liquor producer Lakshman Wasantha Perera, tomorrorw (18). The speciality of this rice mill is that it distills a liquor using rice. At this rice mill, MP Lakshman Wasantha Perera will produce rice liquor that will be similar to the traditional Japanse drink ‘sake.’

The president will open this alcohol rice mill while touring the Central Province on the final day of campaigning for the provincial council election tomorrow (18), in complete breach of the ‘full stop to aocohol’ theory, the theme of his ‘Mahinda Chinthana.’ In the last few years, the Mahinda Rajapkasa regime had executed his ‘fullstop to alcohol’ theory in such a manner that in 2012 alone, 52 new bar licenses were issued island wide. So far this year, the government has issused 55 bar licenses. The Sinhala Buddhist state of Mahinda Rajapaksa earned an excise income of Rs. 60 billion last year.

While participating in the final rally in Matale district, the president will distribute 25,000 sarees and 25,000 mammoties in complete breach of election laws, political sources in the Central Province say.

The president has decided to appoint MP Mr. Namal Rajapaksa as the Minister of Youth Affairs in order to prepare him for the leadership of the Commonwealth Youth Affairs conference that will be held in Hambantota parallel to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) and the United Nations Youth conference to be held in Septmeber next year, government sources say.

Although Dallas Alahapperuma, a relative of the president, is presently the Minister of Youth Affairs, the de facto minister is MP Namal Rajapaksa. The most powerful institution coming under that ministry, the National Youth Services Council, is under total control of MP Namal Rajapaksa. NYSC chairman, attorney Lalith Piyum Perera has publicly said that he is accountable to Mr. Namal Rajapkasa, and not to Mr. Dallas Alahapperuma.

As the first step to expel Dallas Alahapperuma from the Youth Affairs Ministry, the president recently began attacking him through minister Wimal Weerawansa. In response to a remark by minister Dallas Alahapperuma to the effect that ‘Come to Jaffna – see whether roses are blooming’, on the instructions of the president, minister Wimal Weerawans has responded, ‘There are no roses in Jaffna. Go to Nuwara Eliya to see roses.’

According to our sources, the attacks on minister Dallas Alahapperuma could double or treble within the coming days. He will be brought before the Bribery Commission over the train engine tender scam in the Railways Department during the period he was the Transport Minister. The latest victim of the ‘condemn theory’ of the Rajapaksas is minister Dallas Alahapperuma.

In an attempt to promote MP Namal Rajapaksa’s image internationally, at his invitation, cricketing great Sir Ian Bothem will organize his ‘Beefy’s Big Walk’ from Mankulam to Hambantota from 01st to 08th November, also with the participation of renowned cricketers in the likes of Brian Lara, Kapil Dev, Saurav Ganguly. To facilitate these tasks, the president is due to name Mr. Namal Rajapaksa as the Minister of Youth Affairs after the upcoming provincial council election.
