Whilst stating that he together with MP Rauff Hakeem initiated an effort to bring UNP and SJB under one umbrella, MP Mano Ganesan said they had to abandon the idea since the SJB leadership did not respond.

"It is true that Rauff Hakeem and I had initiated a path to bring UNP and SJB under one umbrella. Later we had to abandon the initiative as SJB did not respond," Ganesan told the Dailly Mirror.

"However the subject of "premiership" never popped up in our discussion. All media reports claiming that the President had sent messages to opposition leader Sajith Premadasa offering Premiership were false and baseless," he added. (Yohan Perera)

You unscrupulous politicians who have done absolutely nothing for the country and the people only wants to grab power and implement corrupt practices and rob taxpayers money. Your contribution to the people of Srilanka are the divide and rule policy and create hatred among ethnic groups. The people of Srilanka has suffered enough. Its high time you jokers retire from politics and give way to the younger generation to build a society where all can live as SRILANKANS.

This is the best option for Ranil..after all Ranil and Sajith come from the same Politics and political parties...and People have little bit trust and faith in both of them than MR and co .. otherwise AKD will win and they have done enough field works and you cannot believe how much work they have done locally and internationally...A lot of young and old now support them ..only choice Ranil if he is clever enough to work with Sajith or face political suicide or take this country into further turmoil..

It is good that the SJB did not agree to the proposal for the merger. Although I am a Muslim, I distrust some of the MPs of the community as their interest is not on serving the Community or the Country but go after Positions and Perks. For example, when MR's Government introduced the 18th Amendment, the MPs who enabled it to be passed were Rauf Hakeem and his Muslim Congress. Similarly, when Gota introduced the 20th Amendment and needed a few MPs to obtain a two -third majority, the MPs from the Opposition who rushed to support him were from this Community. However, this sickness is not endemic amongst all members of the Muslim Community as there are many who scrupulously stick to principles as the world knows.

Sajith's popularity has significantly dropped since the last election. He will learn a lesson in the next election. He is still dreaming that "HE IS POPULAR". He is a THICK HEADED PERSON. UNP will emerge as Victorious in the next election.

You are an Up Country Indian Tamil Politician as such you carry no power or influence, so why are you trying to pretend that you are an important person in Sri Lanka ? Mate, mind your own business and look after the interest of your people working in the tea estates.

Either Manoganesan or Rauf Hakeemn should not try to achieve political gain through doing unnecessary things. There active members serving in SLPP are ready to run the country into peace and prosperity and moreover they are the able people to save our country from splitting into two the United Sri Lanka.
