Former president Chandrika Kumaratunga says she “doesn’t know whether to laugh or to cry” when she sees what has happened to her beloved Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

“It is the party that I grew up with, it is the party that fed me and its supporters brought me to power for eleven years,” the former president said in her first official public reaction to the massive victory that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna won in this month’s Parliamentary General Election.
 
“I have been looking for the SLFP all over the place, but I can’t find it anywhere,” she said with wry humour.

She blamed former President Maithripala Sirisena for “destroying the party, a process that was begun by Mahinda Rajapaksa. Mahinda began the rot and did it subtly but Sirisena finished it off in the most base and dirty way,” she said.
