The Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) today said that it would neither accept any ministerial portfolios of the National Unity Government of President Maithripala Sirisena nor take any part in it.

JVP Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said a government could provide only a limited service to the people in a-100 days of time.

“The country is in need of a wide social reform but we don’t think the 100-day programme would be able to achieve that. We regret that Parliament members of the former government, attempting to cross over to the current government in hope of ministerial posts and other privileges,” Mr. Dissanayake told a news conference today.

He said though the JVP would not take part in the Cabinet, it had had requested the President to appoint a National Executive Council, superior to a Cabinet.(Darshana Sanjeewa)

NOt only these 3 , if you look at the current government you can find many more ... from the supporters to the winners .. if that happen, general public has to come to power and rule the country ....
