    Dear Friends, I am a UNP supporter and worked hard to bring Maithree to power. But I never expected a Ranil government will increase tax to Hybrids. The people who use Hybrids like aqua and fit are not rich.They use them due to unbearable fuel cost.

    Indian finance minister is a friend of Ravi Karunanayagam. He is a dirty fox and sure he has a mega deal with Indian companies. The friends who already open the LC s take this issue to Prime Minister Ranil. If he is not responding try to inform Presiddent Maithree. he might help you.

    I will never vote UNP If they remain in this ugly and we will work against UNP in Aprill election.
