Whilst stating that the SJB is not seen as an alternative by the people, MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka yesterday stressed for a programme to woo the dejected SLPP members at the grass root level through an effective propaganda machinery.

MP Fonseka who was speaking at a party meeting in Meerigama said the SJB has to work towards political success as no one would give it to them on a platter.

“People do not see the SJB as a party which is capable of running a government though they have got fed up with the present government. Around 50 percent of those who supported and voted for SLPP are frustrated today. However they don’t seem to think the SJB is an alternative, Therefore we have to have our propaganda machinery in place,” Field Marshal said.

“SJB Leader Sajith Premadasa, Gayantha Karunatileka and a number of others have no corruption charges,” he added.

“The Yahapalana government pledged to send the corrupt behind bars but they also robbed public funds once they came into power. Former Srilankan heads robbed millions of dollars through the Airbus deal, the Yahapalana government canceled it by paying the Airbus Company a large sum. Few Yahapalana government politicians put $ 20 million out of their pockets.

Leaders of the Yahapalana government are responsible for it,” he also said.(YOHAN PERERA)

    Though we know what you are talking about is the truth, one is assured you will not allow SP to have a peaceful leadership. You just wanted to use SJP as a launchpad for your ambitions. Having you in a team will bring only destruction to it.

    the jvp seems to be the only alternative!!

    SJB IS FAR FROM LURING THE PARTY. THEY SHOULD STRIKE THE CORRECT CODE WITHOUT JABBERING NONSENSE.

    The SJB needs a charismatic and educated leader. The people have lot faith in ex service men. Put it bluntly, it is time Champika, who is an engineering graduate from Moratuwa University and topped the batch.

    Next government gonna be National People's Power!! Yeah, now NPP. Is legitimate alternative !! People need a change!!

    Well said Sir

    All that majority voters realised is, it is time to get rid of all under-educated for running this country and only give a fair chance and vote for well educated energetic young blood for looking into future of our motherland.

    Lion Monday, 08 November 2021 08:57 AM

    Your very correct Sir , specifically lot of people don’t accept Sajiths leadership in your party.

    Paid out of their pockets? Why?

    Kikazaru Monday, 08 November 2021 09:08 AM

    This man makes me laugh. He is trying make a case to be the next presidential candidate from the SJB. Now way as the people now know the capability of ex military men. These guys did sports in school and then joined the army after passing the OLs and failing ALs. That is it.

    Dejected voter Monday, 08 November 2021 09:18 AM

    Spot on….I’m a dejected SLPP voter and I can’t see an alternative to vote as yet….

    Pereira Monday, 08 November 2021 09:27 AM

    Same old spoilt / corrupt wine in a new bottle mate! Also need a better leadership.

    upulpb Monday, 08 November 2021 09:29 AM

    You are right!!

    Jude Monday, 08 November 2021 09:50 AM

    This country needs One-Term MPs, One-Term Prime Ministers and One-Term Presidents !! Yeah!! That's the political landscape SL people wanted!!

    rew Monday, 08 November 2021 01:08 PM

    Champika is ready and willing, and is the man of the moment.

    Elizabeth Monday, 08 November 2021 01:50 PM

    Your correct. We don't see any different between Sajith and Wimal. If Wimal seek advice from one temple Sajith make that double or triple. We want nation to build patriot educated not the Buddhist monks in the parliament.
