Rulers of Sri Lanka do not spare even the prisoners as public property is used for political gains

(October 04, Colombo - Lanka Polity) United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA), the ruling coalition of Sri Lanka led by President Mahinda Rajapakse, is currently using almost all state resources for the election campaign in Southern Provincial Council in the leader's home province.

In this picture, taken by Lanka Truth website, the prisoners of Mathara prison in the Southern Province are seen busy erecting a security fence at Mathara Sanath Jayasuriya esplanade where the President is to address the voters on Sunday, October 04 evening.

Using public property and state resources for the victory of the ruling party at elections has become a common practice of the democracy of Sri Lanka and even the people seem adjusted to it.
