Colombo, April 8 (Daily Mirror) - Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) National Organizer Tissa Attanayake over the weekend cautioned his leader Sajith Premadasa on whom the party should associate with.

“SJB should not associate with those who shift sides, and those who are corrupt but with those who are clean and trusted by the people,” Mr. Attanayake told journalists referring to the MoU with the party signed with a group of MPs from Nidahas Janatha Balawegaya (NJB) on Friday.

“SJB working committee gave power to party leader to allay with any party. Therefore, we are not against any alliance with the NJB. However, we caution the party leader on whom the party should associate with as any alliance will not be accepted by the people if we are to associate with wrong the people,” Attanayake added.

“The MoU with the group of NJB MPs was signed in a hurry. That is why many SJB members were not aware. I was also engaged in another appointment. That is why I missed it,” he also said.

Many SJB seniors were absent during the signing ceremony on Friday. The situation was same with the NJB.

    Beginning of the end for SJB.

    Jayantha Monday, 08 April 2024 08:39 AM

    Lol. Any party where Tissa stays looses. So probably sjb wants to get rid of him. A guy without any voter base is usless to any party.

    Anthony Monday, 08 April 2024 08:39 AM

    You are hundred percent right. Already people are wondering why SJB is signing MOU with other alliance and losing faith.

    Better to Close Up Monday, 08 April 2024 08:48 AM

    You don’t need “Rocket Science” to understand the implications of joining these kinds of fellas. It’s time SJB close shop and those sincere to do politics to improve the people's and country’s should join forces and move on. It’s obvious there is no communications within the party and it’s a free for all kind of party! Imagine they running the country with its current state of economic turmoil with mounting debts and interest to be paid.

    Beginning of the end of SJB near!!!

    Roshanaly Monday, 08 April 2024 09:24 AM

    If the SJB had followed this, you won't be in this party at all.

    Royb Monday, 08 April 2024 09:55 AM

    This is true hope he will not miss the bus he should more cautious with Ranil loyalists within his party

    Priyanee Wijesekera Monday, 08 April 2024 10:10 AM

    He is one of those who shifted sides. Should the SJB avoid him too ?

    Ram Monday, 08 April 2024 10:42 AM

    Tissa has got the brain wave late. Those who cannot muster votes should not be invited or included in the SJB lists

    johan Monday, 08 April 2024 11:02 AM

    SLPP and SLFP scattered into pieces,UNP has no address and SJB also going to face the same problem due to haphazard decisions by the party leadership.

    Tim Monday, 08 April 2024 11:36 AM

    Too late the sakes have already entered the house.

    Gh Monday, 08 April 2024 11:39 AM

    Saloon door is going to get busy from now on

    Man Monday, 08 April 2024 12:23 PM

    Mr. Thissa some salient facts to ponder and apply as and when it matters.

    Man Monday, 08 April 2024 02:47 PM

    Mr. Thissa got the correct notion, indeed.

    Last chance Monday, 08 April 2024 01:29 PM

    At First they took you and devalued the party principals to a greater extent then start the parade of former rouges of the previous regime entering the party ,once the election is over that will be the end of you and your party.

    Nadi Karunaratne Monday, 08 April 2024 04:33 PM

    This was the Rajapakse's health minister for a week. The SJB should know he loses votes everytime he is seen, even more when heard.

    pot calling the kettle black

    DJ Monday, 08 April 2024 07:17 PM

    Tissa Attanayake is of no good to the country.

    Kusal Tuesday, 09 April 2024 10:01 AM

    You are going about it the wrong way Tissa. You are supposed to clap and cheer your leader when he signs alliances with whatever type of people he wants, drives gift buses, plays music on a stage or cricket with kids because that is what he expects from you. Just brace yourself for the next wacky thing he will do and be ready to back him up without giving excuses.

    Ranjith Tuesday, 09 April 2024 03:46 PM

    From what we know decisions are made by the party working committee and parliament group, where are you Tissa ,have got SF sickness SJB cannot win the elections own their own SJB has gather as much as support through alliances and joining with minority parties
