UNP MP Sajith Premadasa who ceased to be a Deputy Leader of the party, today said that if there are people who hold positions and they cannot or are not willing to fulfill the tasks that are expected from them by the people, they should leave such positions.

“The people elect us as their representatives not to indulge in a comfortable lifestyle with positions and privileges after forgetting about the people who elect us. Not just to cling on to an upper-class and satisfy a handful of the privileged class individuals. But to fulfill the tasks of the position you are holding for the betterment of the common man in the country. My personal opinion is that if there are such people who cannot do that, they should immediately resign,” he said.

Speaking at a function in the Nikaweretiya electorate, MP Premadasa said that he would take forward the work done by his father the late President Ranasinghe Premadasa in the manner he did them. “I have always represented the reality. I will not represent fake shows and the privileged class. Therefore, under whatever circumstances I would go forward with commitment and self confidence,” he said.

Sajith, respect your leader. You're at times did what Gamini D. & Lalith A. did to your dad. Moreover, there's no chance that you (even you get UNP leadership) topple this Govt. in next 10-15 years. You may see changes @ the top of this Govt. However, it's going to be a Rajap's that going to run SL in next 10 to 15 years. After all the "Big Kahuna" did the job(finished the war). Remember, ain't No Spring uprise. happening in SL. Period., No way??!!!!

Dear Sajith, please form your own party to show your identity and concern for the deprived like your Father.
If you are genuine then the majority is with you.

I rather think that Sajith suffers because of the reputation that his father had for possessing a mouth. I think that the son could prove far superior to Ranasinghe P. His criticism of Ranil W. is quite justified. Mine is one of those floating votes that the UNP has to strive for; I just won't vote for the Party if Ranil heads it.

Well done Ranil. Now you lost any chance to win against MaRa.

OPS Tuesday, 22 January 2013 12:16 PM

As long as Ranil is around and UNP constitution remains , you have no chance to become the leader of UNP . It is right time for you to join hands with Karu , SF and form a new movement.

I am sorry to say that your language, tone, and the manner you speak will never make you a leader! You should consider yourself to be extremely lucky to hold a deputy leader position of UNP.

This is the time to think about new alliance since nothing is moving under the current leadership.
