@Dr_HariniA 1. People who became with massive mandates have been failed miserably in last two decade or so, including the candidates who were supported by the JVP/NPP 2. On the other hand AKD, is also a man who failed to be elected Prez. First time we have an appointed Prez, let’s see 😇

JVP supporters might sacrifice for socialism, but we refuse to suffer its consequences. NPP seems just a cover for JVP's aim at a socialist state, risking our freedoms. The previous gov't fell short, but turning to NPP/JVP isn't the solution. #SriLanka #saynotosocialism

Ever wonder how NPP/JVP can afford lavish foreign tours, designer clothes, and massive political rallies? Think they're using their own money? Think again! Is it funded by; 1. hardworking citizens' donations 2. deep-pocketed crony capitalists or 3. questionable foreign aid
