SLFP General Secretary Maitripala Sirisena had said that although anyone could claim that he or she would be the chief minister before the election, the chief minister would be chosen only after the election from among those elected to the provincial councils.

This is relating to their parties internal policy matters. Nothing to do with the minster.

Bambuwa!

Another joke from the Minister.

Berty & Maheepala have stolen enough by now. It is the time to hand over new guys to stole poor peoples money. God bless to poor people.

Calistus Jayatilleke Friday, 03 August 2012 01:56 PM

Anyway, nothing will happen to life-time Chief Minister, Berty because no one cares for what the SLFP General Secretary has to say. We have seen that earlier too, when he vowed disciplinary action against "doctor" Silva.

Provincial council minister Athaaulla never made any statement or views about provincial council administration in parliament or public meetings. now minister Maithiripaala announced very important message that shoul be done by provincial council minister

CHANDRAPALA Friday, 03 August 2012 07:40 AM

You are correct. See what will happen after the election.

deepani Friday, 03 August 2012 10:43 AM

Azmi Friday, 03 August 2012 09:57 AM

Mr. General Secretary! Hope you will choose chief minister for provincial councils not a goon
Leaders or extortion politicians

shantha madawelass Friday, 03 August 2012 09:48 AM

Nihal Friday, 03 August 2012 09:51 AM

This shows the pity party politics and differences between Maitripala Sirisena and Berty Premalal Dissanayake.

limatc Friday, 03 August 2012 09:48 AM

THIS STATEMENT IS ONLY A JOKE , SIRISENA IS SCARED OF MR FAMILY , HE HAS ESCAPED UNHURT MANY TIMES WHEN THEY ATTEMPTED TO FINISH HIM , HE KNOWS BEST , THE CM WILL BE THE ONES WHO IS CLOSE TO MR

Moven Friday, 03 August 2012 09:30 AM

This proves again how politicians are clamoring for "Manape" and how they try to hoodwink voters. This system of election should be changed early.
