As Rajapakse citadel crumbles families of Dallas and Sashindra flee the country –Maithri rally mammoth crowds paralyze regime
Already , the most corrupt officers of the Rajapakse regime have also
made a bolt , while several families of the regime’s bigwigs too had
been dispatched abroad.
The defeat of Rajapakse regime became very evident when the crowds
attending the final election rallies of Maithripala and Mahinda were
compared. For the rally at Kesbewa which is an SLFP stronghold , crowds
had to be transported by CTB buses , whereas for the election rally at
Maradana of common opposition candidate Maithripala even without any
such bus transport services there was a record crowd exceeding 50,000 in
number.
Even the final rallies of Maithripala at Galle and Kalutara mammoth
crowds thronged the venue with at least 30,000 people at Galle and over
25000 at Kalutara. Having witnessed the huge crowds at these rallies ,
the Rajapakse regime was shocked and paralyzed with panic and fear . All
its dastardly plans deploying the forces had therefore to be either
cancelled or postponed .
