Former North-Central Province Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake said he had instructed the 120 provincial councillors who were prepared to support him for the post of chief minister to withdraw their affidavits.

“They are all quite young and have a long way to go in the field of politics. I do not wish to abandon them by encouraging them to resign over this issue which I consider is a grave injustice done upon them,” Mr.Dissanayake told Daily Mirror.

He said he would not accept any Cabinet or non-Cabinet portfolio in the provincial council and would remain an ordinary provincial councillor. (Lakna Paranamanna)

    Sure Achari, we are nothing but Damn Nuts. Politicians always take us for a ride. Come elections, you will vote too. Sure bloody damn nuts, the public too. The bus has gone Archari Thuma, dont waive your hand now.

    peeda mossa Wednesday, 26 September 2012 01:48 PM

    Learn to be graceful in defeat. You don't have to be CM or even a councillor to serve the people. Follow the example set by great men like Vinoba Bhave and Dr A.T.Ariyaratne who served the humanity without holding public office.

    Ajith Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:58 AM

    we are definitely... If not we wont vote for these guys again and again and select them to rule us..

    Sapumal Bandara Wednesday, 26 September 2012 10:21 AM

    Somebody should file a election petition against Berty so that he would loose not only his Provincial Council Membership, but also his Civic Rights for a minimum of 25 years for the Election Law violations and for abusing Public Property for Electioneering.

    Psyke Wednesday, 26 September 2012 11:08 AM
