The 2015 election and my entry to Parliament on the National List
One of the pleasures I derived from being MP for Kandy district was that I could interact with academic communities at Peradeniya and Polgolla. Polgolla was the venue of the Mahaweli Teacher Training institute as well as training institutes of the Cooperative and Rural Development Departments. This was in addition to a large number of private teaching institutions located there. In fact Polgolla or nearby Aruppola) was earlier considered as a possible site for our first residential university. The proponent of Polgolla was A. Ratnayake who was the dominant politician in the Kandy district during the DS Senanayake era. Polgolla was passed over for Peradeniya because more land was available there from a large tea estate which belonged to a British planter. Says the official history of Peradeniya Campus: The goverment acquired this site in 1938. The extent of land was about 700 hectares and a further 120 hectares were added later. About 150 hectares of the land were developed and landscaped to create the University park on which the University complex is now located while the rest of the land remains forested\".
