President finds superstar to be his CM candidate
- Monday, 25 November 2013
The state media as well as the pro-government private media have been reporting that the president is searching for a superstar to be fielded as the government’s chief ministerial candidate at the upcoming polls for the western provincial council. That superstar has now been found.
He is none other than ex-spinner Muttiah Muralitharan, who was out off his own bowling when he tried to send a doosra to the British prime minister who was in the island recently. Muttiah muralitharan has agreed to follow the footsteps of Arjuna Ranatunga and Sanath Jayasuriya and enter politics following retirement from cricket.
Overjoyed by his finding, the president is making plans to crown Muttiah Muralitharan as the second Tamil chief minister. He will use it as an opportunity to tell to the international community that he is giving equal status to Tamils. It is also unavoidable that he will use Muralitharan’s close ties with South India through his marriage, to his advantage. However, in South India, Muralitharan is facing strong opposition and cannot even visit his wife’s home.
However, according to reports reaching us, there is a different story to the impending political entry of Muralitharan. Just like Duminda Silva, who joined the government some time ago to prevent the cancellation of the radio frequency license of his brother, Muralitharan is supporting the government to prevent the imprisonment of his brother Muttiah Shashidaran, who is facing a huge fine for importing ethanol spirit. Investigations have revealed that he has evaded a huge income tax payment for a long time. Knowing that the only way out is by joining the government, Muralitharan is making plans to enter politics.
