Elections commissioner dancing with Medamoolana Devil
(Lanka-e-News- 09.Sep.2014, 11.00PM) The Elections Commissioner who woke up like Rip Van Winkle after a deep slumber had suddenly announced , because of the violence prevailing in Uva province , elections cannot be conducted in Uva , and it should be held a second time . However according to reports reaching Lanka e news inside division this stooge of the Rajapakses had been compelled by the Rajapakses to make this announcement based on secret reports of the State intelligence service.
The SIS chief DIG Chandra Wakishta had last week submitted a confidential report on the Uva elections to the government wherein he had stated , the government would not be able to poll 50 % votes in both Badulla and Moneragala districts , and the government will face severe debacles.
While Sashindra Rajapakse has incurred the displeasure and disenchantment of the people of Moneragala , there is also a conflict among the candidates of the UPFA with political heavyweights engaged in a tug- a -war , as a result ,it is impossible to poll even 50 % votes , the SIS report had revealed. In order to avert this trend , Wakishta had made three proposals to the government .
Following this report , the Elections Commissioner who was enjoying a deep slumber had woken up after making a tour of the Uva province . He said , if elections violence and elections law violations are to continue, two elections would become necessary in those two districts.
While making this announcement the Elections commissioner had convened a meeting tomorrow (10) at 3.00 p.m. summoning secretaries of all political parties and police bigwigs. It is the consensus of second in command chiefs of the elections commissioner’s office that the Elections commissioner in the midst of all these violence and violations is all along acting partially in favor of the Rajapakses because of his family relationship with Basil Rajapakse. These chiefs are absolutely opposed to the sordid and unscrupulous activities of the Elections Commissioner .
The same second in command chiefs of the elections commissioner’s office who are well aware of the situation and the facts are of the view that the decision of the elections commissioner to have two separate elections on two occasions for the two districts is not prompted by elections violence , but rather by the report furnished by the SIS that the government will not poll more than 50% votes, and therefore aimed at surmounting this impending stigmatic obstacle. They also raised a most perplexing but sensible question in the context of the insensible decision of the Elections commissioner ,the Rajapakses’ notorious lickspittle and spittoon . They questioned whether at the Presidential elections if elections violence rage in the 22 districts , is Mahinda Deshapriya the elections commissioner going to hold elections for 22 days in the 22 districts ?
These second in command chiefs of the elections commissioner’s office regretted that the elections commissioner has become a court jester for the Rajapakses casting aside his legitimate responsibilities and duties towards the people and voters .
While he has a number of courses of action to take against the violence unleashed against his own senior officers , he had been pushing his head under the soil like an ostrich and remaining blind to all these attacks while listening only to the Rajapakses.
