The group of Ministers who were to 'samaga negiteemata'

...when Mahinda was in Opposition, now in Cabinet

Several stalwarts who secured the biggest number of Preferential votes for the very reason that Mahinda supporters who engaged in

propaganda campaigns without providing support to Maithri or his group by even making speeches on the stage voicing the slogan 'Mahinda Rajapaksa samaga negitimu' at the General Elections this time by joining hands with him have managed to claim State and Deputy Minister portfolios which of course is something of a special feature.

The aforementioned are those who broke rest in the night within the parliament itself during the past and thus fought on behalf of Mahinda. At a time when a group including Mahinda had been bringing on an opposing opinion against the government by being in the Opposition and had reaped benefits under Mahinda's cloak now representing the Cabinet is actually a funny stroke of fate. They are mentioned below:

Sumedha G. Jayasena -- Deputy, Sustainable Development

Susantha Punchinilama -- State, Public Administration and Management

Lasantha Alagiyawanna -- Deputy, Town and Western Province Development

Lakshman Wasantha Perera -- Deputy, Plantation

Nishantha Muthuhettigama -- Deputy, Ports and Shipping
