Mayor of the UNP-controlled Matale Municipal Council Daljith Aluvihare yesterday complained that he was disgusted with his party because it does not possess a proper action to run the country. 

The mayor, who also has two siblings who are UNP ministers, Ranjith and Wasantha Aluvihare, said that the party’s situation had deteriorated to such an extent that he was unable to contact the leadership of the party including General Secretary Minister Akila Viraj Kariyawasam when he needed to.   

However, he lauded Opposition Leader Mahinda Rajapaksa, calling him a leader who was always contactable and there for the people at any time of the day.
