Come election time, we will have our NCM against the corrupt, treasonous UNP/UNF.

From the very start UNP, TNA cousins are together and every action of their s is detrimental to the interests of the Sinhalese.

Why JVP is trying so hard to justify the government by bringing a NCM which can't be won ?
