Rabble-rouser parliamentarian Vasudeva Nanayakkara, who commented on the exchange of words between him and Premier Ranil Wickremesinghe has stated that it would have been better if the Prime Minister Ranil could describe him as a rotten ‘LABU GEDIYA’ instead of a rotten pumpkin.

MP Vasudeva Nanayakkara had made this comment during an interview with the Deshaya Sinhala newspaper.

Q:        What do you think of the Prime Minister describing you as a rotten pumpkin?

A:        I can’t understand what he meant. I could understand if he called me a rotten ‘LABU GEDIYA’. But then I wondered whether the United National Party (UNP) was looking for pumpkins for its ‘mala batha’ (post-funeral meal) because pumpkins are usually in demand for this meal.
