Wishful Thinking of Dayan – Gota as President Mahinda as Prime Minister?

Dayan Jayatilleke, a political analyst and former diplomat and an  ardent supporter of the Rajapaksa political campaign, said, in his article, that he wished former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa as the President and former President Mahinda Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister of future Srilanka. That will be the best leadership combination suitable for Srilanka. Further, he said that Kumara Gunaratnam of Frontline Socialist Party can make it and usher in a progressive and socially just Sri Lanka devoid of racism and religious chauvinism, turning this island peacefully into the Cuba of Asia, within his lifetime. He said, that judging by the official SLFP’s stance he won’t be able to abolish the presidency either. So, come December 2019 it’ll be a Presidential election, MR cannot contest, and if it is RANIL vs. GOTA who do you think is gonna win?

“People can change for the better and the worse. Gota has changed for the better but even at his worst, he was and is better than Ranil Wickremesinghe, he concluded.
