All this is a fake act by Rajapaksha and Ranil. Rajapaksha knows they will not get votes this time and they have a bad image. They will put some pabaya like Dammika to take the hit.
Meantime, pohottuwa heavy weights will move to Ranil with a drama to show they are finished with Mahinda. By this move they will attract the kapuwath kola type in SJB who dont like ranil dealing with rajapakshas while also retaining the baiyya vote base. If you think that rogues like prasanna, mahindananda, kanchana are not freindly with namal and mahinda, you are fooling your selves. This is just drama to get votes.
