Srilanka, May 7 -- On 6 May (yesterday), fellow citizens of this emerald isle of ours wended their way to polling stations in villages and towns of our country. We all went to cast that all-important vote of ours to elect persons who would rule our local bodies, ranging from town councils to municipalities. As happened during our presidential election and at the parliamentary elections, most of us would perhaps have voted for the 'Malimava'.
It's not that you and I believe comrade Dissanayake and his merry men and women from the NPP (National People's Power) group will be true to their word. Of course, we do not believe the NPP will bring down the cost of living in the aftermath of the ruination the Rajapaksa family left this country in.
