The United Peoples Freedom Alliance (UPFA) said today it was illegal for the Prime Minister to lay the foundation stone of the Central Expressway.

“This is the Northern Expressway that we planned and wanted to implement. They have instead changed the name and called it the Central Expressway," SLFP Spokesman Dilan Perera said.

He said that having been informed of the plans to lay the foundation stone, the UPFA had complained to the Elections Commissioner, who had thereafter issued a directive banning speeches.

"Ranil Wickremesinghe is a candidate and it is illegal for him to lay the foundation stone. We brought this to the notice of the Elections Commissioner, who in turn had directed that no speech could be made, although the Prime Minister could be present. The Prime Minister disregarded this directive and went ahead and made a speech," he said.

He said that the estimated cost for the construction of the expressway was full of fraud.

"If you look at the numbers it just doesn’t add up. This government has gone beyond the bond scam and are now engaged in highway robberies," he said.
Flanked by Bandula Gunawardena, Udaya Gammanpila and former Secretary to the Ministry of Media Charitha Herath together with the rest showed bottles depicting poison and called for leaders of the government to consume it.

"Maduluwawe Sobhitha Thera had said that anyone who robs public money has to swallow poison and I call upon the leaders of this government to drink poison because they have continuously robbed public funds," he said.

    One of the noble characteristic of Lord Buddha and his followers was to" what is preached should be followed" So Maduluwawe Sobitha should follow once he declared that if some thing is done wrong that person should take poison as LE KUWAN U has mentioned.

    After the rip offs of the family rule period this is a bit rich from this particular gang of thugs and desperadoes. They have forgotten how to tell the truth so desperate are they to get power back and stay out of jail.

    Have you not heard of the famous Three Stooges. The Three Stooges were an American vaudeville and comedy act of the mid–20th century syndicated to television. Their hallmark was physical farce and slapstick.

    dilanr Tuesday, 04 August 2015 04:20 PM
