Kutti carries Ranil’s photo at Temple Trees party

Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena hosted a party at Temple Trees, and it was attended by most Parliamentarians.

Tissa Kuttiarachchi, a one-time United National Party (UNP) member, who contested under the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) at the last elections, also attended the party.

He had brought with him a photo of President Ranil Wickremesinghe, which had been taken when he contested from the UNP.

Showing the photograph to State Minister Lohan Ratwatte, he told him: “This is the photo I am using for the next election.”

Mr Rattwatte responded: “Kutti, you should have shown it earlier before the State ministry appointments were made.”

“Even if one is given now, I would not refuse it,” Mr Kuttiarachchi replied.
