Even Free Lunch Packets Failed to Attract Crowds

An Uva MP who was  rejected by the electorate was lucky  enough to make it to Diyawanna. When President paid an official visit to Uva to inaugurate  a big development project  in the province, he wanted to display his popularity . Hence, he ordered 3,500 lunch packets  to be given to  participants.   But only  half the number attended. He wanted to make  use of the left out lunch packets.  In disposing  left out lunch packets  in a hurry had sent a number of parcels to a political office of a  member of the Former Royal Family, now an arch political rival of him.
