Colombo, Jan 23 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is to spend more than Rs 20 million to be paid for the people who are to be brought to Colombo for its protest on January 30 2023, UNP General Secretary Palitha Range Bandara alleged today.
Mr. Range Bandara told journalists that some of the funds have been allocated to provide liquor for those who are participating in the protest.
“A close associate of the SJB Leader has assured that he will pay for the protest. This person is alleged to have paid former MP Chaminda Wijesiri to resign from his parliamentary seat recently,” he added.
SJB General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara who commented on the matter denied allegations. “We have not thought of providing liquor and rewarding those who participate in our protest. It is the UNP which uses such tactics to bring people for their events,” he said.

It is fine as long as it is not robbed from the Central Bank of Ceylon.

Sour grapes (Chinese). The UNP can not hold an election in an open area. The leader with no public mandate speaks only to primary school students inside the primary schools.

UNP pioneered the act of paying people to attend for protests including lunch packets and Arrack shot, yeah, what's good for The goose is good for The gander , Huh!!!

After the election you should take up Kandian dancing to entertain tourists.

So what's your problem and what's it to your party. Your president is spending lavishly in Switzerland by the millions why don't you talk about that, Looses.

Sokrates Wednesday, 24 January 2024 08:51 AM
As long as people pay for it, what's the problem? Incidentally, MR has not yet paid the CTB bill for the bus transfer of his supporters.

What about over 100 members cross over from the SJB to the UNP? Just another gimmick?
Labby Wednesday, 24 January 2024 11:23 AM
Just protest. With no alternate solution of their own to the economic problems, just protest. Probably the easiest thing to do; keep shouting on the streets making a general nuisance of themselves and displaying their ignorance. Their objective is very clear; play on the minds of the gullible rural folk.

How can we compare this with the invitation for the film stars by a minister?
Lion Wednesday, 24 January 2024 12:02 PM
Just shut your gap these things are common in your party setup . So don’t complain
