It did not take long for the people of Sri Lanka to realize that BBS andRavana Balaya were both operational arms of MR and Gotabaya’s  Majoritarian agenda, which exposed  their joint  conspiracy to pinch the votes of  the Sinhala Buddhist masses by posing as their champion and suppressing  the just aspirations of the minorities of this country. BBS few weeks ago boasted that they will put forward their Sinhala Buddhist Champion Candidate and said that they were only waiting for the announcement regarding the common opposition candidate to do so. Our Cardboard Sando Gnanasara even sarcastically commented that no masculine figures with a moustache appear to be seen on the opposition side and only MR has a  moustache. That was the first indication he would have given to the country, as to who their choice will ultimately will be! However Alas! When the name of Maithripala Sirisena was announced, the wind was taken off their sails .We do not need any body language experts to tell us, that when he

announced that their secret candidate was none other than MR, their sponsor and patron-saint, Gnanasara’s face at the Press Conference, did not have the same level of confidence and buoyancy, as he had at his previous ones. He expectedly sang his favourite chorus by claiming that those who extended support to the President’s challenger are traitors and part of an international conspiracy against the country aiming to reverse the victory of war through foreign pawns and dollar-funded campaigns.

Any user of the Facebook will see the type of adverse comments about Gnanasara in many Sinhala Buddhist sites, which earlier portrayed him as Wariyapola Sri Sumangala Thero reborn. (My Foot!). Sri Sumangala Thero incidentally was known for taking down the Union Jack and re-hoisting the Sinhalese lion flag, before the Kandyan Convention that handed over control of the country to the British in 1815. Gnanasara is now being branded as a traitor, an opportunist and a mere fox in sheep’s clothing by many of his earlier Sinhala Buddhist followers, judging from sample FB comments .Read More
