One must not get deceived by media reports to find out about the local government elections as it will be certainly held, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa said. 

Speaking at a public meeting in Galle he said the authorities will be compelled to hold the local government polls. 

"One must not get deceived by media reports. Media will publish reports saying local government polls will be postponed. Later another report will say elections will be held. Therefore I request the people to ignore the media," Premadasa said. 

"We will get the authorities to hold the local government polls somehow. We will fight on the streets for it peacefully," he said. 

" SJB will continue its election campaign," he added. ( Yohan Perera)

    Hon Sajith, when attending meetings, please DO NOT TALK about the marks you got for maths or any other subjects. SHAME ON YOU. TALK something meaningful to the society. YOU are unpopular now.

    Looks like Sajith has joined hands with the corrupt alipohottuwa. He is silent when peoples rights are trampled. He will utter some empty words and then disappear.

    Sajith and some of his cabinet minister are worried the dirt files on their corrupt activities will be released by the alipohottuwa. So they have to go along with whatever the alipohottuwa decide.

    I knew him when he was 7 years old at St Thomas Prep, Kollupitiya and I remember the day his father became PM. He is down to earth and never proud. Parents have never spoilt him but gave him the best education. He used to come in a Austin Cambridge car driven by the father when he was opposition MP for Colombo Central.

    You say not to not to deceived y the media, then what is this 'In a joint letter addressed to the Finance Secretary, the Nidahas Janatha Sandanaya, Uttara Lanka Sahabagaya, SLFP, Jana Jaya Peramuna, the Nidahas Janatha Peramuna, and Sri Lanka Mahajana Pakshaya had informed Mr. Siriwardana that he had violated section 104 of the constitution' and again you say, you will take to the streets, What are you talking, or have you made a deal with the govt, not to hold elections, kindly clarify the status

    Leave politics aside. All democracy loving citizens should not let the pin president have his way and destroy whatever is left of a once thriving democracy.

    We studied the nursery story of the fox that followed the dangling testicles of the goat, waiting for them to fall down. We visualize that fox and goat at now. t

    General masses are with Sajith

    Hiran Sunday, 19 February 2023 05:29 PM

    Sajith is only a big talker.. this is the man who suddenly fell ill on the day everyone came out to chase away GOTA.

    As the leader of opposition he should be able to rally around all opposition parties instead mud slinging, else be ready to be in opposition

    We need to getting rid of uneducated idiots before it’s too late. We need to bring educated Muslim Tamil Sinhalese leaders to running the country

    There are comments of John Dolley type, after doing best to wind the election map with a taste of new liberilism.

    Richard Monday, 20 February 2023 11:15 AM

    Agree with Wj. Sajith n his party members should immediately meet the other opposition party leaders and come to a common decision and start necessary action to force the govt to hold elections and demand for the release of the budget allocation for the election. If necessary get the masses to the streets to demand for the election. If necessary a massive crowd should be brought to Colombo. Act fast.
