Ranil Rajapakshe to get votes wants to plant tea in Colombo parks. Shows how desperate he is knowing coming colors no good. What are these workers to do in Colombo other than engage in an age-old profession and kill the tea plantations.

Why, government going to have estates in Colombo. These bankrupt politicians make this country further bankrupt with their stupid policies. All other countries try to reduce the urban migration, these stupids make worse decisions to make political gains in elections.

50,000 flats in Colombo for plantation works. What a foolish decision ? Plantation workers should be given houslng facilities near their work places not in Colombo. Upcpuntry workers are not acclamatised to the Colombo hot and humid weather. Don’t know wheather the government is also planming to put special intercity trains from Colombo to their work place. Government is hell bent to do any dam thing to get votes like what is happening now in India. But the modern generation are not foolish. Most have already decided to whom to vote. Marwan
