He said all the allies of SJB such as Tamil Progressive Alliance and SLMC will be part of a grand opposition alliance with the exception of MP Patali Champika Ranawaka.,” Mr. Ranawaka had expressed his willingness to join SJB,” he said.
Asked about the 42 brigade which is a campaign launched by Mr. Ranawaka, the SJB General Secretary said it is one of the different campaigns. “42 brigade Campaign is also another programme of the opposition. Mr. Ranawaka did inform us about the campaign and therefore we knew about it,” he added.
Mr. Attanayake said the new constitution of SJB has been approved by the party’s Executive Committee. “Executive Committee which includes around 1,000 members which include all SJB MPS, Opposition Leaders of local bodies.
