Former MP Hirunika Premachandra who expressed frustration on the current situation of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB), slammed the party leadership saying the SJB top brass trusts only two-faced crooks.

“There are two-faced crooks in the SJB who stay with Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa during day time but wine and dine with President Ranil Wickremesinghe in the night. These SJBers are snakes. However, the party leader trusts only them instead of us who are committed to the party,” Ms. Premachandra told a party meeting.

“Please talk to Mr. Premadasa and try to put him on the right track,” she told party National Organizer Tissa Attanayake who was at the meeting.

“Those who meet Wickremesinghe tell us that they have been offered ministries. These people will join the President even if they are re-elected to Parliament from the SJB ticket. Mr. Wickremeisnghe never talks to me as he is fully aware that I will tell him a thing or two if he calls me,” she added.

“No one would have dared to associate with the President if the SJB leader had taken disciplinary action against MPs such as Harin Fernando and Manusha Nanayakakra who initially crossed over to the government,” she added. (Yohan Perera)

    SJB leader is like the polar bear. Half the time in hibernation. Rest of the time more thunder than action. At-least can't he visit village by village and strengthen the party at grassroot level while explaining his vision and action plan to the masses?

    Sajith is a very weak leader. Sorry to say this but you cannot expect much from him considering the intelligence level of him. Though he is young compared to other politicians, his ideas and thinking pattern is very poor and outdated. He never wants to update either. Opposition needs a better active leader not a weak sole like him.

    I don't think he is not intelligent but at his age he has not got cabinet level exposure like his father JRJ or Ranil.But he appears to be considerate of the poor and downtrodden and he also looks sincere in his actions.Only time will tell whether my assessment is correct.

    A good leader is someone whom people can believe would do no wrong.. Sajith fits the category so perfectly..

    Hello, miss! We all share this incredible frustration that you, the woman politician-wannabe, who hasn't faced any repercussions for your little adventures in thuggery and the art of scaling policemen on duty. How exhilarating it must be for those officers to have their testosterone levels put to the ultimate test! It's truly a shame that you haven't been prosecuted for these remarkable feats.

    Not only Sajith but the followers are also in the same category. This women who shouted in meetings praising Sajith and lambasting NPP leader few months ago now singing a different tune . They all will be with Ranil soon but not for the sake of the country but for their own personal goals.

    Patience is the need of the hour instead of capsizing the boat although some crossovers have taken place. Sometimes immature people have the mentality of taking action immediately which will not be prudent since the playing field comprises of verterans in politics who will capitalize on an opportunity and achieve their objective. Also achievements don't occur overnight as the present President who was biding his time with many failures with several checkmates by opponents and his party members. For everything there is a Time and Place and the strategist Sajith will outsmart his opponents and then the Public will wonder how did this happen? Did anyone realize whether the Present President will reach his goal of occupying the top place and going places with strategies not in the book to be on top?

    Mr premadasa listen to every one's voice because those who truly love their party make the most noise. Investigate on your own.Be very alert and make your own decision for the people and the country.
