Badulla District Parliamentarian Nimal Siripala de Silva said today UPFA would not hinder the common opposition’s 100-day programme and assured its support in carrying out it.

“We will not obstruct the common opposition’s 100-day programme. We hope they will carry out it as promised. People voted for Maithripala Sirisena because they approved their programme. We also expect to help him in carrying out it in matters that we can approve of,” he said.

Mr. de Silva said they would accept the new Prime Minister even though there were some constitutional issues in appointing him. “We are not going to raise any technical issues,” he added.

Parliamentarian Wimal Weerawansa said they would not allow the former president Mahinda Rajapaksa to stay at home and said they wanted him to engage in active politics.

“He is still the SLFP president and would continue to engage in active politics. If anyone is trying to remove him, we will not let that happen,” he said.(Santh Desmond)

Weerawansa I though you would have run away with your master. Where are you man?

Fassey Sunday, 11 January 2015 12:02 AM

Where is Tissa hiding after results. The UNP "Apala" went to UPFA and finally they too lost the election. It was a real GROBR indeed for My3 team.

M M Shariff n Selvi Saturday, 10 January 2015 11:38 PM

A message to both Nirmal n Wimal. Why don., t you allow MY3 to perform his duties. We want the country to forward.

Gaz, you idiot listen carefully before commenting. He speaks as a UPFA member, SLFP general secretory and senior Vice President answered the questions regarding SLFP..

Tony Candappa Saturday, 10 January 2015 11:00 PM

This bullshit is to do with the Pensions. If Parliament is dissolved these buggers all lose their Pensions.

ravi Sunday, 11 January 2015 12:21 AM

Wimal is a real idiot. He should just chill now. may be hang out with Thissa. via DM Android App

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:07 PM

Weerawansa, Hon. President Sirisena needs a person who could wash his clothes, since you have the experience try to beg MS, you might get a chance.

Euclid Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:04 PM

Looks like Modawansa is upset his handler is jobless. Why not open a biscuit factory and manufacture Lemon Puffs. Ha Ha Ha!

Euclid Saturday, 10 January 2015 07:00 PM

Time to introduce a constitution based om Westminster System now that the opposition will give the support for the 2/3 majority. Or else dissolve parliament

Don Don Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:40 PM

If Mahinda listen to Vimal, that will be his end of life too. Vimal, leave him alone without destroying him further.

Aku Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:31 PM

Guys - Wimal is not his real name... nor is his and his wifes birth certificate...change of dates of birth a few times.... Beware, he is a total fraud!!!!

Mana Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:25 PM

Still hoping to play a big role. Let us see how many of these smooth talkers will be around once the bribery and corruption commision goes in to overdrive.

Niran Sunday, 11 January 2015 08:23 AM

Wimal should keep the dirty mouth shut. Now freedom for media and whatever questions you should answer.

Nims Sunday, 11 January 2015 07:30 AM

Yeh most suitable for the job from the entire cabinet. I am sure Mervyn Saliva, Dallas and nImal Siripala too have necessary qualification for the job

Nims Sunday, 11 January 2015 07:26 AM

Weerawansa should stop talking immediately and resign from the parliament as he got his votes via MAHINDA

kasun Sunday, 11 January 2015 03:04 AM

This is the pay back time with interest so get ready.

Toper Sunday, 11 January 2015 03:02 AM

Can a respectable news media like DM stop giving any importance and or publicity to news related to people like WW and their garbage. Such columns and space could be utilized to educate our young people about real democracy and how the related institutions should work. Most of our younger generation have absolutely no idea about these matters

Chand Sunday, 11 January 2015 02:57 AM

ALL of these talks are rubbish, many of these politician are already thinking to jump to other party for their own advantages. I would like to ask new leader to action following 2 things immediately.1). Make regulations to have certain level of education to enter politics.2). Make regulations to stop politician to change parties after wins/losses

JPNRC Sunday, 11 January 2015 02:32 AM

Back to the Parliament? Surely, this is a joke!!!

kumudu Sunday, 11 January 2015 02:26 AM

sanchay Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:01 PM

WW is back again, LOL he should now come out with evidences of his conspiracy alligations.... a coward and boot licker as always he had been. By the way as good sri lankans for the integrity of this land should hand over their foreign citizenships and PR, the whole bunch!

premalal Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:58 PM

You are not from the SLFP. So mind your own business. You have done enough damage so learn to keep your mouth shut. Please account for your wealth since joining the government.

iemerald Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:53 PM

Fassey Saturday, 10 January 2015 04:19 PM

Your hindrance, intimidation, mud slinging is enough. Now just sit and watch without envy how the new team is working and implementing the 100 days program for the welfare of the people. Better to keep the fowl mouths shut until the general election.

Hulan Bassuwa - than Aney very reasonable Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:12 PM

So now we will support the manifesto in the 100 days - the same manifesto they condemned. What a bunch of losers, hypocrites and sycophants.No more escort cars, TV time and fawning lackeys. Where is the shortest lived Minister of Health (Boru Givisum). All of them are examples of the thuppahi political culture that existed before 8 January and will be washed away in the next election - they will survive till the 23rd to get their pensions.B Epa

amila Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:09 PM

Is he your party member?

Bala Saturday, 10 January 2015 06:08 PM

At least Nimal sounds reasonable - Modawanse as usual is aggressive - better he is sidelined.

Sunil Mohan Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:52 PM

This WW was barking at the wrong tree , nothing he could do

Sam Fernando Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:26 PM

Very good decision taken by UPFA. Its better and the whole country will approve a National Government.. Both SLFP and UNP should get together for the sake of the country.

andrew pitugala Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:23 PM

Promises, promises and more promises.

Rodney Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:17 PM

Mr. Wimal, sorry to say... people like u was the reason for this defeat. people didnt have the guts to express their political views.. tho the 30 years bloody war got ended, u guys left the people to live in a different fear. the excellency Mahinda Rajapakshe was one of the best leaders that Sri lanka had seen... no doubt about it... now accept that this country people needed a real change... and lets not step back. we have the gut feeling that MS and Ranil will do their best.. cus now they r commited. jayawewa.

Subra Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:17 PM

Good things better cooperate and bring pease in mother land. All people united and solve the current problems which was delayed by Former president without out side interference. Easy to solve everything if wills are there between communities. I hope now is time to do.

Gemunu Saturday, 10 January 2015 05:16 PM

A commission must be appointed immediately to investigate all politicians for any corruptions, improper deals, commission from tenders etc.
