Speaking to the crowd at the event, Mr.Silva said he would continue to work for the people across the province though he was elected by the people in Ratmalana, Moratuwa and Dehiwala areas.
He said he will never leave the people behind in his political journey which commenced following the demise of his brother Anura Silva, who was killed in a bomb attack. “I will continue to work for the people’s welfare,” he said. Members of the Kesbewa UC were also present at the event.
