Yogendra Yadav, who has previously been an anti-corruption protestor, a student protestor, and a farmer protestor, is set to re-brand himself as a Sri Lankan protestor now. “There are multiple reasons for Yadav Ji heading to Sri Lanka to lead this protest”, a close aide of Yogendra Yadav said, “Firstly, protests are the brand identity of Yadav Ji. We wish him all the success in his endeavours there.” Meanwhile, Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa, who was supposed to have left Sri Lanka, has released a statement that he is still in Sri Lanka and is trying to reach the presidential palace before Yogendra Yadav.
