Southern Provincial Council Chief Government Whip Justin Galappathi (UPFA) and his son are to resign from their respective seats and join the UNP

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, Galappathi said that only a government under the UNP could serve the people.

“I could not serve the people as I expected, therefore I have taken a decision to leave the government. It is only under a government of the UNP that we could serve the people” he said.

His son is a Municipal Councillor of the Matara Municipal Council. Galappathi was formerly a UNPer before switching his allegiance to the incumbent government. (D. G. Sugatahpala)

Will the stage collapse once again in the south?

He is in for government intimidation now. Wonder whether he will end up in jail within the next few months on some arranged charges. MR over to you to organise these things.

Even if the stage collapses the song, dance and music will not stop. The expenses will be on public account.

Didnt you realise that we citizens are deaf, dumb and blind.

Decision taken at wrong time, he is going to have very bad period from now on.

Now the government forces will start unleashing the mad dogs to avenge this embarrassment to them, because reverse migration is something anathema to them.
