Tamil National Alliance (TNA) MP M.A. Sumanthiran said yesterday Northern Province Chief Minister C.V. Wigneswaran would not be given the chief ministerial candidacy again.

He told a news conference that the chief minister had assured the party that he would hold the post only for two years when he was appointed the previous time.

“We do not expect to appoint Mr. Wigneswaran as the Chief Minister again because he said he would not hold the position for more than two years. We do not think it is suitable to give him the position again, “ he said. (Romesh Madushanka)

Good decision people need a CM who capable to work together with all parties aiming people's development without blasting out his own house (party)for the self interest.

TNA don't know the ground reality now, they want a TNA puppet as CM. Mark my word, he will be the elected CM in the next election but not as a candidate from TNA!

The ground reality is very obvious. Two states in one country.

in a very small island we have a President, a Prime Minister , sorry a dead man, and over 40 ministers. Do we really want a Chief Minister and for what. Let all the ministers enjoy their life and we will pay for their expenses. Both Sumanthiran and his old boss from Trinco, I can't even remember that man's name enjoy life.
