Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe is a lucky man. He is the leader of the United National Party. There are loads of mainstream and social media personal at his disposal. Those media chaps are being handled by competent spin doctors.
They are the people who came up with shiploads of fake news during Mr Rajapakse's government. They planted stories of golden horses, Buckingham palaces in America, man eating sharks, Lamborghini cars ect ect. Gullible voters of Sri Lanka were deceived. Ultimate result was establishing a new government.
One can deceive to achieve high office. However when one is occupying the high office one has no option but to perform. If the person who deceived all the way up to the high office is not capable of delivering goods, what will happen? That's exactly what happened to Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe. Whatever the project he started as the Prime minister was an utter failure. Sometimes with unbelievable bad luck too.
The best example is the Volkswagen saga. One of Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe's stooges Mr Harsha Silva was boasting that he got the world famous Volkswagen automobile company to start a new car factory in Sri Lanka. Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe gave a government land ( in fact it was disputed land belonging to the government trustee) to a self appointed local agent of Volkswagen Automobiles. Just few weeks after that incident, so called pollution emission scandal hit the Volkswagen Automobiles and now the then worlds biggest automobile manufacturer is bankrupt. Just Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe's luck.
Going back to the original point, one wonders what will happen to Mr Ranil Wickramasinghe's spin doctors and media gang. Silence observed in social media suggests that the rats and mice are jumping the ship!
