President pledges to form UPFA govt.
Maithripala Sirisena says that as the executive president, he can intervene and get a parliamentary majority for the UPFA to form a government if it comes very close to gaining the 113 seat requirement.
He stresses this in his letter to his predecessor Mahinda Rajapaksa today (13).
If the UPFA can form a government, the PM should be a SLFP senior who has so far been denied the position, says president Sirisena.
He names Nimal Siripala de Silva, John Seneviratne, Chamal Rajapaksa, Athauda Seneviratne, A.H.M. Fowzie, Susil Premajayantha and Anura Priyadarshana Yapa as being eligible.
The president seeks Rajapaksa to demonstrate his cooperation, flexibility, benevolence and blessings before the country for the sake of the country, people and the SLFP.

Hrithik to play lead in Aashiqui 3
Aashiqui released in 1990 but its songs are still a rage. There is hardly anyone who hasn’t swayed to its melodious beats. They are simply amazing.
Aashiqui 2 thus had a huge pressure on it to match up to the musical brilliance of the original. And the film went beyond the original with its music. Even today people listen to its songs on loop.
Now we hear Aashiqui 3 is in the offing too and guess who’s playing the lead? Hrithik Roshan.
Times of India reports that Bhushan Kumar and the Bhatts are once again coming together to make the next sequel of this musical superhit franchise and Hrithik is to play the lead.
Hrithik has recently shot for the recreated 'Dheere Dheere Se' song for Bhushan and we wonder if it's during that shoot that Hrithik and Bhushan decided to work together. Well, till we get a confirmation, all that we can say is, it can't get better for the audience.
