While stressing that he was not aware of the current stance of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), MP Wimalaweera Dissanayaka warned that he was not ready to sit idle in the government.

A very bitter MP Dissanayake addressing a SLPP media briefing said however that he has no issues with the President or the majority of members in the government.

“Nevertheless, there are several idiots in the Cabinet,” he said.

"I have worked tirelessly for five years to build the SLPP and bring electoral victory for the SLPP in the Ampara district while both my kidneys decayed. I have no problem with most of them in the government. But there are several idiots in the Cabinet, with whom I have several issues," he said.

Although he has no difference of opinion with President Ranil Wickremesinghe and the government, Dissanayaka reiterated that he is unhappy to be an idle member of the government.

Yea you must look after your self first. Find out what causes your kidneys to fail. Yes you must eat less food and do some exercise control your blood sugars and blood pressure. These two common causes kidneys to fail. Everyday you must do eat less sugar, less carbohydrates and more exercising. I think you can lead by the example to others in the parliament.

Yeah, including the president !! SL will never develop when Ranil in the helm!! If people looking for real tangible development in the country then they should vote to රතු සහෝදරයන්, for change!! 75 years we didn't prosper Coz majority of Lankan politicians corrupted to the core, others also benefit from the corrupted politicians. Only People can and should change this dirty filthy political system.

Welcome to the club. We can see that you don't want to be an idle member - in other words, you don't want to idle without a port folio. Interesting way of putting forward your demand. You will go a long way.

Sri Lankans can now see the side effects of the Sinhala only. Idiots built up in central schools. India did not give up English and you can now compare their progress.
