Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said that MP Chamal Rajapaksa too has joined to take forward the Hambantota district development committee.

The media reported that the current government has decided to give Chamal Rajapaksa the chairman post for the Hambantota district development committee.

“I am happy to note that MP Chamal Rajapaksa has joined with us to strengthen the Sri Lanka Freedom Party and to take forward the government’s development plans. Myself and Chamal would work together to strengthen the SLFP. We don’t need to give power to any other. We don’t need to break this government. We need to form a government on our own. Our aim is to create an SLFP government in 2020” the minister said

The minister categorically said that the country would not divide under this government.
