(Lanka-e-News -03.Aug.2016, Medamulana Mahinda Rajapakse in spite of being in power for two terms as president while committing robberies and murders with impunity , through the recent much hyped pada yathra (march) of his concluded on the 1 st which could only gather a crowd of only about 14000 supporters proved to the world, what a moron he is with demonic traits – that is, he can do nothing well except committing crimes.
It is a pity that Mahinda via this padha yathra fiasco totally destroyed even the flickering hopes the SLFP ers nursed based on their opinions that ‘ whatever happens Mahinda has a crowd with him.’ The march made it abundantly clear to the masses that the devil is not as strong as it is portrayed.
On the first day , the crowd was around 4000; on the second day about 2000; on the third day about 1500; on the fourth day about 7000; and on the final day about 14000 participated in the pada yathra. That is, the total crowd was about 28500 over the five days which is clearly below 30,000. In other words Mahinda who polled 5.8 million votes last year at elections had with him less than 30,000 only to join in his just concluded ambitious pada yathra !
Rs. 200 million is the expenditure but food provided is below quality – crowd contracts diarrhea !
Although a colossal amount of money was wasted on the meaningless , purposeless and senseless pada yathra , the food provided to the participants was of inferior quality . Consequently a great many suffered from diarrhea , and they were seen running in all directions in desperation is search of places to defecate. As is always the case with Rajapakse projects , in this instance too the food suppliers after collecting the monies have cheated by providing cheap quality unhygienic meals. Nepotism of Rajapakse that ruined the country wholesale had done the damage in regard to this food supply too by entrusting this contract to a Rajapakse relative.
In any event the media that covered the pada yathra were provided with a super luxury bus and hotel accommodation .The only media Institutions that did not use those facilities were the Swarnavahini and the Lanka deepa. They used their own transport and accommodation facilities.
By MP Mahindananda saying at a media briefing that there was a crowd of 2 million people for their pada yathra , he only betrayed to the world he has not been taught arithmetic in his primary classes . Perhaps being zeros parading as heroes, to him between a thousand and a million it is only adding zeros . As Lanka e news revealed earlier on , if truly there was a crowd as large as 2000,000 for the pada yathra , by the time it reached Colombo , and the front row of the crowd is nearing the capital , the last row should be even beyond Kandy.
It was not possible for them even to muster the support of their own 50 M.P.s who are supposed to be with them let alone the one million they expected for the pada yathra.! Even on the final day -the so called grand finale ! only a few MPs participated. The non participation of Chamal Rajapakse and Gotabaya Rajapakse in this pada yathra is something worthwhile remembering and noteworthy.
Based on State intelligence reports , the crowd was only about 14000 despite grandiose hopes of gathering a crowd of 100,000 in Colombo on the final day . The Intelligence division also disclosed , out of the 14000, about 8000 had been fetched from outstations by buses.
How the last vestige of that little prestige left was lost on the third occasion
The most queer part of this failed march is , the yathra organizers while clamoring and screaming from roof tops that they could muster a crowd of over two million were demanding the small Hyde park ground for their yathra purposes where only a small crowd could assemble. Since that ground is being refurbished , the president and Prime Minister in good faith offered the Campbell park as a better option so that neither the public nor the pada yathra participants will be inconvenienced.
The Pada yathra leaders on the other hand realizing the cat would be out of the bag if they assemble at a large ground while the crowd is small, chose the Town Hall premises where they erected a temporary stage to conclude their march after making speeches mounting that stage.
No matter what camouflages and subterfuges were resorted to , the bitter disappointment following the fiasco was writ large on Mahinda Rajapakse’s face.
The present president who was appointed for 6 years , and the government that was appointed for 5 years will reach the end of their terms in 2020 .Under section 19 of the constitution until mid 2019 , that is until 4 1/ 2 years are over the president cannot dissolve the parliament . In such circumstances , going on a march demanding back the reign even before one year of the term of the newly elected government is over is to demonstrate the idiocy and imbecility of the padha yathra moronic leaders. These buffoons by engaging in this march at the very beginning even before the new government has settled down to commence its onerous tasks , while such a march should be the last weapon to be resorted to has only blunted the sharpness of that weapon.
It is well to recall Mahinda Rajapakse not only lost his prestige by holding presidential elections two years ahead of schedule , but also his honorable prefix ‘ former president’ by contesting the parliamentary elections to become just an M.P. In like manner by taking another stupid political decision in keeping with his moronic traits to stage the padha yathra too early in the day, and at the most inopportune moment had lost even the last vestige of that little prestige that was left in him.
The foolish politics of grade 9 qualified morons Mahinda and Weerawansa
Truly, Mahinda has only passed the grade 9 examination . Because he failed in mathematics in the GCE ord. level he was only allowed to follow the GCE adv. Level on condition that he should pass the O/L mathematics paper in the interim.
It was Chamal Rajapakse after making a spurious identity card in Mahinda’s name succeeded by sitting the mathematics paper from a remote area , a relative of the family revealed to Lanka e news. Mahinda who also failed in the GCE adv. Level entered Parliament ( the last refuge of most scoundrels and cheats of Mahinda’s caliber ) on the votes of the people.
During that time when Felix Dias Bandaranaike was the minister of justice gave a concession to MPs to enter Law College , which enabled Mahinda to join law College without sitting an admission examination , to finally become a lawyer. The final law exam papers too were answered by somebody else for Machiavellian Mahinda.
Those who helped in that exam for Mahinda were Jeyaraj Fernandopulle and Sarath Wijesinghe. In other words Mahinda actually has only a grade 9 qualification although he may be better qualified in other areas such as duping , deceiving and robbing.. Like birds of a feather , this moron along with the other grade 9 qualified Weerawansa got together on this pada yathra ( after having committed highway robberies together during the period of their government).
It was Weerawansa and Gammanpila another notorious fraudster who were instructing Mahinda suffering from senile decay mentally and physically to move that way and go this way when going on the pada yathra , which infuriated the other SLFP MPs. In any event , there were three SLFP MPs who were most active in this pada yathra. They were , Mahindananda , Johnston and Lohan Ratwatte.
Hooting at the party headquarters
It was confirmed that this pada yathra (march) was indeed a march undertaken by drunkards and rascals when they began hooting and shouting “aapayage aapa kade’ when they were marching past in front of the SLFP headquarters . Although Mahindananda at a subsequent press briefing said , that hooting and shouting was not carried out by those who came with them on the march ,the video footages bear testimony that it were those participants with Rajapakse when he was travelling with his security detail who started this disgraceful hooting and shouting. Based on the reports reaching Lanka e news , it was the gang of Janaka Bandara Tennekoon of Dambulla who had started shouting ‘ Aapayage aapa kade’ and hooting in front of SLFP headquarters .
If the party officials do not make it their top priority to purge the party of these scoundrels and rascals who claim they are SLFP ers , much graver problems may have to be faced in the future.
The social media video that brought forth the truth about pada yathra
An individual who was walking close by to Weerawansa says , he has lost his purse that was in his hip pocket. Weerawansa says , ‘I am of course keeping my purse in the front pocket. Here….’ and shows his front pocket.
This was clear evidence that those who participated in the march were not genuine marchers but vagabonds and pickpockets. Might we recall when these groups went to dash coconuts at the Devale too they pick- pocketed Dinesh Gunawardena and another.
Another video footage had captured a scene when a group of henchmen from Kandy of Lohan Ratwatte went berserk on the final day because the sum of Rs. 1000.00 each promised to them was not given to these hired marchers.
Finally -even if Mahinda tells lies his tongue (not bifurcated yet) doesn’t !
When concluding the march, Mahinda confirmed even if he tells lies (for which he has earned the name ‘mendacious Mahinda) , his tongue doesn’t. ‘We are coming back not to go’ Mahinda warned the government. That is of course absolutely true….
By that he proved his tongue does not lie though he lies. The past record of Mahinda is clear testimony that he held power not with any intention to go , and to be permanently installed in power. It was with immense dislike he eased his reins into the hands of the newly elected president on 8 th January 2015 , and it was with great difficulty Mahinda was got rid of. The people who know about Machiavellian, mendacious and murderous Mahinda and his inordinate greed for power are however saying in no uncertain terms ‘ we shall never ever allow Mahinda to come back, ’ even as Mahinda brags he will never go if he comes back .
This situation was best illustrated when all those of the alliance government who had minor issues , and the party organizations’ social networking groups who joined the rainbow revolution on the 8th of January 2015 got together as one team to make the Rajapakse march an absolute fiasco even as Mahinda Rajapakse was bragging and boasting he would march from Kandy to Colombo with a million supporters.
What’s more ? the masses stripped the pada yathra nude on the very route they were marching -the response from the public the Rajapakse brigand anticipated did not materialize, and in the end Mahinda lost even that last vestige of that little prestige that was left in him.
Minister Viajayamuni Soysa made a terse political comment in regard to Mahinda’s brag, ‘ we shall be coming back not to go.’ Soysa said , that comment is most serious.
“These blokes are racists, religious fanatics , caste fanatics and extremists. They have only one more label left to be fastened on them , that is terrorists . That is why they are saying, ‘ we are coming back not to go.’ But, we are not afraid of terrorists. We are ready to face even them. These blokes cannot topple government by going on marches. Of course they can ‘topple’ their calves only ” Soysa asserted.
