Npp loosing not only votes but also exposing that they are liers. They lost two third majority within six months. Now trying hard to hold onto power in local bodies by going against what they preeched before coming to power. Instead of open votes they want secret votes as they have bought members with money. Coming into alliences with Thonda and Badurdeen after labelling them as theives prior to election. Npp is digging its own grave faster than Gota.

looked, the nature is playing a great roll in deciding the leaders in the pradeshiya sabas , where the NPP and the opposition got the same number of votes.
