"It's lucky to form new Party ... am prepared to give advice to Mahinda" -- Sumanadasa

Royal Astrologer Sumanadasa Abeygunawardena who is supposed to be the Chief Astrological Advisor of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has expressed his ideas to a weekend newspaper saying that the new Party which is to be launched by

Mahinda Rajapaksa together with the United Opposition would be stepping towards a revolutionary move. He had expressed his ideas saying that Mahinda had not heeded only his opinion at the last Presidential Election and had complicated matters by listening instead to the advice of Indian Astrologers and after that election Mahinda had severed connections with him; however he is prepared to offer his services gratis once again to Mahinda.

This is what he said: "According to positions of the planets it is seen that a power against the government is brewing these days. The planet Mercury moved into the Sign of Virgo last Thursday the 11th of August. In the same way, the planet Venus who is the head of the 4th House of Taurus which denotes matters about the opposition in the zodiacal sign of Capricorn of Sri Lanka is in an exalted position in the sign of Libra.

A planetary position conducive and similar to the planetary position of Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa's birth is to be observed. Even at the time of the Presidential Election of January 8th 2015, he had messed up things by putting me aside and instead worked on the advice of Indian Astrology. I am happy to say this even at a late stage like this. Actually even at the moment when he saw the end of the war which went on for 3 decades it is I who gave various advice. I have handled matters with him for a period extending to about half of my life. I am looking forward with joy to grant any form of advice".
