Killi pressurizes president to give MP positions to Tiran, Sri Ranga!

Aug 20, 2015

Sirasa Media Network’s owner Killi Maharaja, who tries to be the kingmaker in every government, is pressurizing to get two of his henchmen, corrupt businessman Tiran Alles and Nuwara Eliya district former MP J. Sri Ranga, appointed to parliament on the national list, say president’s office sources.

Presently staying at St. Johnwood in London, Killi gives several telephone calls a day to the president and tells him to fulfil his request anyhow, say the sources.

 

He has told his friends that the president would be treated through his media network in a manner similar to that being meted out to Ranil Wickremesinghe. After Wickremesinghe refused a similar request at the 2004 general election, Killi has been unjustly and unfairly attacking him through his media network.

 

Killi tried to take a similar approach for the Rajapaksas, and the result was that his media network headquarters at Depanama, Pannipitiya was reduced to ashes in January 2009. Thereafter, he reached an unconditional media ceasefire with the Rajapaksas. Gotabhaya has said that the only language Killi understood was being torched.

 

Later, Killi was tamed by the Rajapaksas to such an extent that the chief guest at the Sirasa Media Network’s annual Vesak zones was the then defence secretary Gotabhaya.
