While expecting a strong representation in parliament, National Peoples’ Power (NPP) said today it would be the main force to stand with the people against harmful and destructive moves which are set to unfold after the August 5 general election.

NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayaka told media after casting his vote in Colombo, that a certain faction was attempting to create a single-family democracy in the country and that people should defeat such moves with their franchise.

“Things that are detrimental and harmful to people are set to take place after the general election. We expect a strong representation in parliament to defeat such moves,” he said.

He said even though the election was considerably free and fair, the use of state property, state media and state power were reported as usual in this election as well.

Mr. Dissanayake said political atmosphere in the country would reach the peak after the election as the government would face the current economic crisis by burdening the people and depriving of their rights.

“This government will face the economic debacle by burdening the people and depriving of their rights. They will suppress people’s struggles and violation of their rights. NPP will become the main force to stand against political developments after August 5,” he said. (Ajith Siriwardana)

WE DO RECOGNISE AND APPRECIATE YOUR BOLD CRITICISM AGAINST CORRUPTION AND INJUSTICE DONE TO THE PUBLIC BY POLITICIANS. HOWEVER THE POWER DOES NOT CARE FOR THE PUBLIC AND CONTINUE TO LOOK AFTER THEIR OWN INTERESTS. ONLY GOD HAS TO SAVE US THE POOR CITIZENS

This one may be under delusion. If he gets at least 3 seats in the parliament, it will be a miracle and a blessing for the nation.

you may be right. we will wait and see what the results. Likewise, many Tamils hope that Mr.Sampanthan and Mr.Sumanthiran will be defeated in the next election for their dishonesty and selfishness.

Now they reject you - in near future they will come and worship you because the the both parties majority worshiped are now at the peak of their "extinct", the blue party vanished, green is at the door step of its extinct. Phottuwa will fade by 2025! - hang on man...! finally idiocy of people of this country come to rescue them!
