Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said today that he would not join the United National Party (UNP), even if he were disgruntled with the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP).

While addressing the media briefing, he said that he contested the previous election representing the SLFP while being in the UPFA. The Central Committee of the SLFP took the decision to join the National Government.

“Later, I also joined the National Government. I joined the National Government not because of my own decision, but to obey to the policy decision taken by the SLFP Central Committee,” the Minister said.
“Now, I am in the National Government but not betrayed the SLFP. I don’t even dream of joining the UNP.

“Even if I die, I would die as an SLFP member, not as a UNP member,” he said.

“Don’t even think to topple the present Government during four and half years. Everyone should face the reality of the present Government, while keeping our main ambition to setup a new SLFP Government in 2020, without being breaking up into splinters. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

Useless to general public.

Nimal Siripala don't talk about 2020, who knows who will live by then nor what changes will take place at that time. From the reliable source we got to know that you wanted to join UNP, that is all.

Generally Nimal is a man who huts for power and leadership. Can't change him.

Hay Nimal we know who you are. You asked for an important portfolio from RW, failed... now you are jabbering.

“Even if I die"He is so ignorant that he is even not sure that he will die one day which is the ultimate truth for all of us.

I don't know how u die as a SLFPparty member? Does he at least know in his deep sleep that he was a SLFP member? All myths, concepts and knowledge we collected after we woke up from the deep sleep not even valid in ones own deep sleep.Deep sleep is also a world belong to your life. We leave everything here when we go to deep sleep. So why we fight to own things that you can't even carry with you. We can't we be unite as one?

Hi Hon Minister it's high time for you to retire from politics cause you are a sleeping minister and not worth for any party

Pibi Thursday, 31 March 2016 05:06 AM

Of course you live like one who would never die.

Premalal Thursday, 31 March 2016 05:59 AM

I don't think that the UNP is looking for dead wood so you can rest assured. By the way without kidding yourself and trying to kid us, please try to win your seat first.
