Megapolis and Western Development Minister Champika Ranawaka should resign from his post if he did not agree with the government’s policy regarding the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM), Joint Opposition member Vasudeva Nanayakkara said today.

Speaking at a press briefing the veteran parliamentarian said the Cabinet made a collective decision on the SAITM issue, a cabinet that Minister Ranawaka also a part of. Therefore if he was to carry a different opinion he should resign from his post.

Nanayakkara went on to say the Minister had agreed with the cabinet decision during the meeting only to disagree with the decision in public. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

Is Vasudeva referring to a dream he had about Champika, and raising this comment?

Vasu, he will never heed to what you suggested because most of the politicos are a shameless lot.

Dear vasu,Did you resign from your portfolios in last regime, when you had many many differences to your opinions?hypocrits ?

rajan Friday, 30 June 2017 05:38 PM

Ah so you are back ! Almost forgot about you. Good, hope you have recovered well, despite the GMOA strike. You wouldn't be speaking like this, if you were also turned back like the thousands of helpless people.

Vasudeva Nanayakara should retire by now and rest at home and take proper treatment if he wants to live for another couple of years.

you are against SAITM Vasu, but you were part of the regime that allowed it in the first place and you did not utter a word against it at that time. Why oppose now?
