I am not scared of Hambantota- MR
UPFA Kurunegala District candidate and Prime Minister hopeful Mahinda Rajapaksa said he is contesting from Kurunegala as a gratitude to people outside his stronghold Hambantota who are battling for him and that he does not fear people of Hambantota
“I came especially to Sooriyawewa to give an important message to the people here. I am contesting from Kurunegala and not from Hambantota. I saw in certain media that I was supposed to be scared of Hambantota which is why I am not contesting from there. Why should I be scared? The people of my district love me. People in other districts are battling for me. I decided it would be better if I contested from Kurunegala. What is important in the next Parliament is the number of heads that will go in. We have to increase our own persons,” he said in Sooriyawewa.
