Without changing the policies of the government, merely changing heads would not bring about the results that were needed, SLFP National Organizer, Minister Susil Premajayantha said.

He added that a failure to understand this message delivered by the people at the recently concluded Local Government election has resulted in there being no way forward for this government.

He pointed out that these election results showed that their was a clear need to change the policies of the government and that things cannot be solved just by a change of personnel. (Ajantha Kumara Agalakada)

The present leaders in the UNP may not be interested inchanging the policies and working in the interest of thepeople.Possibly they know that they may not come backinto power again and so want to make as much wealth as possible before they go. "Make hay while the sun shines"

Are you real?

CHAMELEON Friday, 02 March 2018 10:27 AM

" not change of personnel needed:" - so Susil you are finding reasons to remain in the cabinet, after your ultimatum AND after paying homage to MR. Well, well, well -this is the stuff politicos are made of.

What is needed more is change of personal from .murderers, crooks and dealers to genuine politicians.

In Sinhalese this is what we call "වැදි බණ". He is just uttering something he or his previous regime never practiced. Then it is called hypocrisy!

malij Friday, 02 March 2018 10:40 AM

Maybe he wants to go back to policies of the former regime.

Lord Wolfstein Friday, 02 March 2018 11:51 AM

Strategist Friday, 02 March 2018 01:12 PM

Need to change both - policies and people. But without RW making a move things are tough...

SLFP got the least number of votes, may be SLFP should first change its head, change its policies and change its Ministers. This is not happening but the Pundits are calling for changes, what changes?

This Guy should change his place and go Home, so that young,energetic men can carry the flag of progress. He is sitting with his legs spread, so that nobody can come in and nobody can go out. Yes change him and the likes of him first.

Don Friday, 02 March 2018 09:06 PM

Goverment must change him first with hatred head and big mouth who made this election results worse ever.

Citizen Perera Saturday, 03 March 2018 10:38 AM

One leg of this guy is with MR and other with MS...most unreliable person.

Selvyn Saturday, 03 March 2018 11:28 AM

Selvyn Saturday, 03 March 2018 11:34 AM
