Gota to boycott March 8 Rally!

Former Secretary of Defence, Gotabaya Rajapaksa is likely to boycott the ‘Pohottuwa’ rally to be held on March 8 in Kandy sources say. According to reports he has not been invited for the rally and has also decided to not attend even if invited. Rajapaksa has said he would not appear on political stages until the favourable time. 
 
Sources close to Rajapaksa say he feels it is too early to appear on political stages and would only do so when he feels it is the correct time to do so. While the country is seeking a change, Rajapaksa is said to believe the necessary change will not be delivered by the budget which is to be presented today.
