“IF THE UNP IS HAVING ALL THE POWER IT’S CLAIMING WHY IS IT ASKING JVP HELP TO TOPPLE THE GOVERNMENT?”

By Walter Jayawardhana

Addressing a Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Women’s Front meeting in Anuradhapura, parliamentarian K.D. Lal Kantha asked if UNP is possessing the power it is claiming to have why is it requesting the JVP for their help to topple the Mahinda Rajapaksa government.

“Not only the UNP leader Ranil Wickremesinghe but his only ally Mangala Samaraweera is asking the JVP help to topple the government and all that show that they cannot do it ,” Lal Kantha said.
He further said even if the JVP supported them the government is having a very clear majority in the parliament and Ranil Wickremesinghe should understand that he cannot topple the government and it was only a dream.

He said people in Anuradhapaura should ask their leader what happened to the leadership of the party in Anuradhapura and where is it now? He said even at Anuradhapura the party has become headless because it has left the party to join the government. The UNP cannot tell whether it’s leader in the area is Harrison or Ekanayaka, who has received the most number of preferential votes. They are all in the government now.

Asking the people to look little beyond Anuradhapura Lal Kantha said the leader in Puttlam Neomal Perera has left the party. The leader of Gampaha area and the Deputy leader of the party Karu Jayasuriya has left the party.

The whole leadership of the Colombo District has left the party and are in the government benches. The whole UNP is a washed out party and how could they topple the government. Their National Conference has become a mere non entity, Lal Kantha said.

The JVP parliamentarian added that the so called National Congress of Ranil Wickremesinghe and Mangala Samaraweera has become such a failure and that’s the reason why they are desperately calling the JVP to help them and even if the JVP helped them they would not be able to achieve their goal of toppling the government.

He said so far 43 UNP parliamentarians have left the UNP and they could could see the pathetic scene of Ranil Wickremesinghe shouting with a handful of inexperienced boys boasting of toppling the government.

Lal Kantha said after all those futile boasts of toppling the government the UNP leader was now boasting ousting the government at the Budget debate.

He said even if the JVP supported them he was sure that the UNP would not be able to defeat it. He said the JVP cannot decide whether it was opposed to the budget or not since the budget is not yet known.
