Minister of Economic Development, Basil Rajapaksa, yesterday said, Asia has produced another Rajapaksa and doer, referring to the overwhelming election victory of Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Leader, Narendra Modi. There would be better chemistry between President Rajapaksa and Modi, compared to the rapport he had with outgoing Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Minister Rajapaksa said adding, Modi delivered on his promises to Gujarat in a similar way how Mahinda Rajapaksa delivered on his promises to his people and will continue to deliver in the future, the minister said. The minister said he joins his brother, the President, in welcoming Modi to Sri Lanka. We like to welcome anyone and we had the privilege of having former Opposition Leader of the Indian Parliament (BJP) Sushma Swaraj in Sri Lanka last year, who has now won the Vidisha seat in Madhya Pradesh by a huge margin. We even welcome Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa. We dont want to sideline anyone, he added.
