RanilPresident Mahinda Rajapaksa says opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe now has a Maithri at home and Maithri outside his home.

The President was referring to Wickremesinghe’s wife Maithri Wickremesinghe and common opposition candidate Maithripala Srisena.

He noted that the UNP has now had no choice but to put forward a candidate from the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) as the opposition candidate.

“This is like Tissa Attanayake coming to our party and contesting the election.” he said.

He said that Maithripala Srisena has got caught like Sarath Fonseka did at the 2010 Presidential elections.

The President said that some people are now crying crocodile tears but he said he will protect the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and the people of this country.

He also noted that the Parliament Select Committee was appointed two years ago to propose constitutional changes including reducing the Presidential powers but yet the opposition boycotted it and is now pushing for the Executive Presidency to be abolished. (Colombo Gazette)
