A get-together to express goodwill to Punchi Dasa was held the other day at the Colombo residence of a close relative of ‘a lion-like’ state purohita.
All Punchi Dasa loyalists had been invited to this bash. However, some of these loyalists had made it a point to quietly obtain permission from the Green leader before attending it.
Among those who had quietly met the boss to get his nod was a gabby Diyawanna politico having Colombo Central as his political base.
Greetings over, the politico told the boss: “Sir, there is a party this evening… and I too have been invited to it…I thought of attending it with your kind permission…â€
“Attend it if you have been invited,†replied the leader. “But don’t put your signature on whatever documents handed to you…Convey this advice to your colleagues as well…â€. He paused a moment and added: “Remember that I have already decided whom we should field at the big poll…!â€
“Okay, Sir!†replied the politico and left the place with a song in
his heart.
