Dissanayake, and  whether he would be able to succeed since some coalition partners in the  government have been opposed to such a move in the past.<img src="http://www.sundaytimes.lk/100606/images/Universities.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />                       More than 95 % voted in favour of opening out  while on the second question was not as overwhelming (60 % in favour)  with some saying the minister may find resistance. Nevertheless, some  respondents pointed out that if President Mahinda Rajapaksa is backing  the move he would be able to firmly overcome any objections.                       More than 400 people responded to the poll on  an issue that has dogged Sri Lanka for many decades: whether or not to  freely allow private universities particularly in the medical field.ST</blockquote>
