Sajith fulfils contract to the letter!

 Saturday, 01 November 2014 

Plotting to see that UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe is defeated at the presidential election in order to grab the party leadership, deputy leader Sajith Premadasa is planning another conspiracy, together with minister Basil Rajapaksa, to prevent government MPs from crossing over to the opposition, say internal sources of the UNP.

When general secretary Tissa Attanayake declared that 40-odd government ministers and MPs are due to join the UNP, Sajith compared them to ‘rats.’ At a meeting at Hyde Park, Colombo on October 29 for UNP polling booth agents, he said rats are going to jump out of the sinking UPFA government ship and join the UNP.

Also, at a previous meeting in Hambantota, he said a large number of fraudsters connected to corruption and malpractices in the government are now going to leave the government and join the UNP in order to cover up the allegations against them.

Many government ministers and MPs have expressed strong displeasure over these remarks, to Malik Samarawickrema, the closest friend of the the UNP leader who is coordinating their talks with the main opposition party. If the talks are to continue productively, the UNP leader should tender a public apology over his deputy’s remarks, they have informed him.
