Presidential contender put in the fray by Rajapakse regime quacks on divided loyalties
By D.B.S. Jeyaraj
It's an open secret that Former UNP national list MP Sarath Kongahage was put up to contest presidential elections by the Rajapakse regime.
Both candidates are SARATH. Their names are similiar. The idea is to confuse voters & cut into potential Fonseka votes.
Sarath Kongahage
Kongahage is also used by Mahinda to raise objections against Fonseka that the general is ineligible to contest as he has US green card.
Kongahage has filed action saying Sarath is US citizen by having US green card & cannot hold high office on grounds of divided loyalties.
Hilarious to see Kongahage saying US residency is equal to citizenship. Does the poor blighter really not know the difference between both?
Kongahage, If dual citizenship is divided loyalty then how can US citizen Gotabhaya Rajapakse hold sensitive Defence secretary post then? [ http://twitter.com/dbsjeyaraj ]
