The end of the episode

It was no smooth ride for Ranasinghe Premadasa who began his political career as an Municipal Councillor and achieved the political stardom by degrees. The Presidency did not smooth the way for him either. An impeachment motion levelled against by the close partners of the party rank added fuel to the burden of an insurgency brewing in the South and the disturbing presence of the Indian Peace Keeping Force in the North and East. Albeit a battle-hardened politician, President Premadasa could not weather the storm, as ill luck would have it.
