Dayasiri Jayasekara responds to an apparent accusation or challenge by referring to past political efforts to change or form governments. He cites his role and that of others in helping bring Mahinda Rajapaksa to the presidency and later supporting the 2015 Maithripala Sirisena–Ranil Wickremesinghe administration, framing the exchange within claims about responsibility for political transitions.

¶ 01 Your answer—now, it hurts you when these are said. Do not ask me how you pulled down Governments. Who toiled to bring the 2015 Government? Who worked to make Mahinda Rajapaksa President? Who worked to bring Maithripala Sirisena and Ranil Wickremesinghe in 2015?
