	Anura Bandaranaike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

		Bandaranaike's death is a physical expression of the fact that the era in which representatives of the national bourgeoisie were able to present themselves as anti-imperialists, defenders of the oppressed masses and even socialists is well and truly gone.

		In bed with the JVP is a faction of the PA, unofficially led by the Presidentâs brother, Anura Bandaranaike, who failed in his bid to become the leader of the party in Parliament.
		Anura Bandaranaike, like his father, mother and sister, thinks that the way to the top is by embracing Sinhala chauvinism (some 70% of the population being Sinhala-Buddhist).
		If Sri Lanka is going to be led by the likes of Anura Bandaranaike or the JVP or, as is likely, both, it may well be the end of country.

		Sri Lanka's Bandaranaike dynasty, with several world firsts to its credit, has once again grabbed international headlines with President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and brother Anura Bandaranaike at the center of a political drama involving the power of the presidency and the rights of parliament.
		It is unclear if she spelled it out during the meeting with Bandaranaike, but by midnight she had suspended parliament for two months and announced a national referendum Aug. 21 to seek the people's consent to change Sri Lanka's 1978 Constitution.
		Though four years younger than Kumaratunga, Bandaranaike has been in active politics longer than his sister and had served as leader of the opposition in parliament in 1983 when the then government took away his mother's civic rights, expelling her from the legislature on charges of abusing power as prime minister from 1970 to 1977.

		If Anura Bandaranaike were defeated, which is very likely, that would truly put an end to the family’s dynastic politics.
