By Keerthi Rathnayake (Lanka-e-News -12.Dec.2020, 12.05PM) Internal conflicts within the party was the major factor in the defeat of the Rajapaksa government before. Meanwhile, the assassination of Bharatha Lakshman and the Aluthgama riots were decisive. Gota was the creator of both the destruction. Mahinda's powerful government was toppled when Gota was the defense secretary. If Gota had done so much as a secretary, one could expect more from him as an executive president. Gota sir is a wanderer with no vision of politics. The gap was filled by the Wiyatmaga organization. The work done by Wiyathmaga to bring Gota to the throne is not insignificant. In the early days, Gota sir had no idea about the vision, mission, aspirations and benefits of Wiyathmaga. There were occasions Gota sir tried to skip Wiyathmaga meetings. Wiyathmaga activists had to drag Gota sir as a child who refused to go to school to WIyathmaga meetings.
