Ranil Wickramasinghe’s father Esmond Wickramasinghe was a Christian his paternal uncle Lakshman Wickramasinghe was the Bishop of the Church of Sri Lanka. He is a hypocrite to pretend he is a Buddhist for political vote baiting. He once said he wanted to build the Largest Buddhist Dagoba. He is ignorant of some Buddhist matters but, the truths and facts matter little to him. Once at a meeting in Kantale he had referred to relics of the Buddha from Kapilavattu as relics of Venerable Sariputta and Moggallana.
Thus, his efforts to reach out to the Sinhala Buddhist masses have been many. Yet, simply pulling out a Parakramabahu promised era, giving promises that are unlikely to be honored in the form of building the largest Buddhist dagoba, or teaching Buddhist monks Pali and spread Buddhism side by side with dressing up farmers in jeans or Nike t-shirts is likely to head for repeated failure”.

Ranil Wickramasinghe speaking at the 55 Convention of the UNP compared President Mahinda Rajapakse to King Ajatasatru, He stated that Ajatasatru, a king of the Magadha empire in ancient north India, had resorted to creating tensions within the democratic Vaishali Republic in order to conquer it and that the Rajapaksa government is engaging in the same tactic.
Ranil Wickramasinghe has a problem in looking forward and take Sri Lanka progressively forward. He is a backward looking man not suitable to be the Prime Minister of a developing Sri Lanka. In hundred days he was able with his UNP Cabinet of Ministers to take Sri Lanka many years backward. He has no vision for the future therefore goes back in time to ancient India he says to emulate the dignified tradition of Lichchavi Kings.
