Mahinda had told Times of Japan newspaper that he dreams of becoming the Premier

Former President Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa has mentioned that nobody can launch taboos on his journey towards Premiership. This he had said during the course of his tour in Japan by giving an interview to 'Japan Times' newspaper. This was revealed when he was posed the question as to what his future plans were. On that occasion what

Mahinda had said was that though the government has set up laws so that he is not able to vie for the Presidentship for the third time that nobody could erect barriers for him not to go for the position of Prime Minister.

In the same way Mahinda had exclaimed on that occasion that although the incumbent government had alleged that he had swindled 18 billion dollars, so far upto now it has not been proved that he had cheated even a single dollar and that if anybody is successful in proving otherwise he is prepared to cut his throat and die. That statement is as below

And corruption allegations? “They say I have stolen $18 billion, but if they find evidence of even $1, I will cut my throat,” he says, claiming that evidence has come out implicating the current president.
Asked about future plans, Rajapaksa pointed out that now he is barred from seeking a third term as president, but, flashing his signature smile, did not rule out running for prime minister. “Politicians never retire,” he says.
