Sirisenas My-three-pala-naya (CBK,

Ranil, and himself) has no future

H.L.D Mahindapala-Thursday, November 27, 2014

The politics of Maithripala Sirisena is bizarre,

to say the least. He leaves the Rajapaksa regime because he was not given
the premiership and his answer to his own problem is to abolish the
presidency and appoint Ranil Wickremesinghe as the Prime Minister,
empowered with executive powers of the presidency.
Where does this leave Sirisena? At the end of 100 days, when he hopes to
complete his demolition job, he will be left with nothing -- neither the
Presidency nor the Premiership. When he finishes his job of abolishing the
Presidency and handing over executive power to Wickremesinghe (within
100 days, he says!) he will be creating only a My-three-pala-naya of
Wickremesinghe, CBK and himself, the non-entity in the troika. In the
current context it is difficult to find three more monumental losers than this
trio.
Vindictive politics
Sirisenas My-three-pala-naya indicates that he is a follower and not a
leader. He has neither the vision nor the capacity to provide a viable
alternative that is better than a refined status quo. Who else but a nave
political puppet would fall for a plan which will cut off the branch he holds
and destroy the branch on which he proposes to stand? (Al-lapu ath-thath
naha, paya gahapu ath-thath naha.) Where is his place in the new hierarchy
of the proposed My-three-pala-naya?
Those with eyes to see will agree that there isnt a greater folly than getting

trapped in the doomed politics of Ranil-Chandrika combo. They plotted in

2010 to pick Sarath Fonseka a good General fallen among fools to pit
him against Mahinda Rajapaksa. Reason: these two failures knew that they
had no chance of winning against Mahinda. So they picked Fonseka who
had Buddhist and nationalistic credentials to contest Mahinda. Everyone
knows the results.
Now this combo is back again recycling their vindictive politics to get even
with Mahinda. Having made use of Fonseka they dumped him like a hot
potato because he is no longer marketable as a winner. So they baited
Sirisena promising money to finance his campaign, cross-overs to
demoralize the government, organizational support in the electorates and
the backing of a motley of odd-bods, including TNAs Sampanthan and JHU.
(TamilNet (24/11) reported that CBK had secret talks to cut a deal with
Sampanthan.)

Of course, TNA and JHU are strange bed-fellows.

They make the bizarre politics of My-3-pala-naya weird and unworkable.
To begin with, if JHU is preparing to go to bed with TNA in the My-threepala-naya then they must be having a perverse craving to get some
masochistic kicks out of sleeping with porcupines. They might want to sleep
with their backs turned to the TNA but that where the pricks will hit them.
Bringing in Sampanthan and it will be only on secret deals with TNA will
definitely take the nation back to the failed CBK-Ranil politics again.
More importantly, the anti-national actions of Wickremesinghe and
Chandrika point to the fact that they have been the best conduits of the
West. So when Sirisena aligns himself with these anti-national forces, who
have sold the nation down the river, he is signaling that he will reverse the
post-Nandikadal gains and go back to the time when Erik Solheim and
Prabhakaran dictated terms to the beleaguered nation. In his My-threepala-naya he not only plans to commit hara-kiri but also push
Prabhakarans cyanide pill down the throat of the nation.

Of course, he is due to announce the details of his plans sooner or later all
of which will be proposed, drafted and written by CBK and Ranil. He will be
merely the mouth-piece selected to parrot the words fed to him by CBK and
Ranil for the simple reason that he has never shown the leadership qualities
of thinking on his own two feet. He is no visionary leader who can carve out
a new path to the future. So far he has shown only signs of going back to
the failed past.
However, his qualities can be tested on the way he proposes to deal with
the following issues:
1. What will be his stand on the 13th Amendment?
2. Will he go with Ranil and CBK plan of implementing 13+ sponsored by
India and the West?
3. Will he agree to withdraw the forces from the north to satisfy the
demands of TNA in exchange for their votes?
4. At a time when USA continues to increase its global bases 900 and
counting will he cut down the naval bases in the north to appease TNA?
5. Will he introduce cuts into the forces defending the territorial integrity
and security of the nation?
6. Will he give in to the land policy of TNA to keep the north and the east
exclusively for the Tamils, which may include issuing visas under a revised
P-TOMS plan of Chandrika?
7. After the Harvard University awarded him a Health Leadership Award has
Michele Sisson used him as the head of the secret anti-national leadership
campaign backed by the other two pro-American losers?
8. Does his My-three-pala-naya include throwing principles of law and
order into the dustbin in order to protect his son Gamaralage Daham the
next time he runs amok in a drunken rage, assaulting even Police officers
appointed by the state to maintain law, order and even sons of senior police
officers?
9. Will he care to develop a new education program in geography to teach
his new political partners in the UNP the difference and the distance
between Medawachchiya his political patch -- and Kilinochchiya?

10. Since he claims to be the man who plans to introduce purity into the
administration will he begin by investigating the $300 million given to Ravi
Karunanayake by the pro-Tiger billionaire in USA, Rajaratnam now serving a
jail term in USA for insider trading?
11. Will Sirisena, under the influence of his main backers, CBK and Ranil,
initiate a policy of deviating from the independent foreign policy of Mahinda
Rajapaksa and go with CBKs French connections and Ranils IDU dominated
by anti-Sri Lankan David Cameron?
12. What place will be left open for him in the post-election phase in which
he proposes to abolish the presidency and appoint the well-known failed
leader in Sri Lankan history to run the country?
13. How does he propose to implement the promises he is giving the voters
when he has already promised to hand over executive power to the biggest
political flop in Sri Lankan history?
14. How does he propose to protect the territorial integrity when he hands
over his executive powers to the man who sold the nation to Prabhakaran?
15. Will he revive the P (pacha)-TONS plans to hand over the North and
the East for ten years for the Koti pups in the TNA to run the two regions
with the compliments of his two main backers, CBK and Wickremesinghe?
16. Considering the anti-national political players behind Sirisena isnt he
the next biggest threat to the unity, national identity and territorial integrity
of Sri Lanka?
These are only a few selected questions that he must answer when he goes
before the nation to get the votes. Many more are bound to be raised once
he reveals the details of his manifesto. These preliminary questions reveal
that not only the Gamarala under his roof but even his political associates,
like CBK and Wickremesinghe, are a serious threat to the future of the
nation that is now settled on a course, with all its faults, heading towards a
future, with a clearly defined path to progress, national identity, national
security, territorial integrity.
Executive powers
Sirisenas proposed My-three-pala-naya presents a serious threat to the
future of the nation. If executive powers are handed over to
Wickremesinghe there is no guarantee that he will not move heaven and
earth to reverse the gains achieved by the Security Forces. He has

intransigently pursued an anti-Sri Lankan policy, kow-towing to David

Cameron and the West. His ambition is to gain a place in history by
rewriting and reversing the history achieved by the self-sacrificing forces
that fought Prabhakaran and his best buddy, Wickremesinghe, to the bitter
end. Wickremesinghe and his henchaiyas havent yet apologized to the
nation for ridiculing our heroic forces and selling the nation to Prabhakaran.
Clearly, in the coming election the question that the nation will face is this:
did our heroic soldiers who were ridiculed by the UNP sacrifice their lives for
Wickremesinghe to undo their achievements and hand over the territory
liberated by them to the enemies of the nation?
Sirisena is on record saying that he will hand over his executive powers to
Wickremesinghe. How can Sirisena then control him and prevent the nation
from being hijacked and taken back to the time when Wickremesinghe
handed over the north and the east on a plate to Prabhakaran?
Wickremesinghe is led by David Cameron and not by Sirisena.
Wickremesinghe will have no compunction in giving Sirisena the karapincha
treatment. He will drop Sirisena like the way Chandrika dropped him, when
he was bending into two before Bush in the White House.
But where will the Machiavellian manipulations at the top leave the people
at the bottom?
