Chandrasena now a Dy. Minister

5 October 2012 07:05 am

UPFA MP S.M. Chandrasena, who earlier resigned from his cabinet ministerial portfolio, took oaths as Deputy Minister of Agrarian Services and Wildlife before President Mahinda Rajapaksa a short while ago.

Chandrasena was the Minister of Agrarian Services and Wildlife earlier and he resigned from the ministerial portfolio after the Executive Committee of the UPFA told him that two persons in the same family could not hold two ministerial posts simultaneously.

His brother S.M.Ranjith was appointed as the Chief Minister of the North Central Province by President Rajapaksa two weeks ago.
