Incumbent Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe will have to resign from his post or will have to dance according to the tune of SLPP if he remains, an SJB MP said yesterday.
SJB MP Mujibur Rahman told a media briefing yesterday that Prime Minister Wickremesinghe will have to bow down to SLPP if he wants to remain as the premier.
“The present government cannot be called a multi-party government, as it is controlled by SLPP. Ministers of the new cabinet are ones who have contested under the SLPP ticket other than the two from SJB,” he added.
“Reducing the power of the Executive President is in the balance as questions have been raised on the 21st amendment, which was presented to cabinet on Monday. The Bar Association of Sri Lanka has claimed that there are no provisions to reduce powers of the President in the 21st Amendment. On the other hand, preventing those with dual citizenship from coming to Parliament is also in the balance,” he also said.
Asked about the claims made by Ministers Harin Fernando and Manusha Nanayakkara that they are still members of SJB, Mr. Rahman said these are remarks that the two ministers say to comfort themselves. “SJB will take disciplinary action against the two Ministers soon,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

You are getting jealous about your former boss. Whatever it is he had guts to accept the challenge.

Did you take action against your MP Diana Gamage?

You all should RESIGN and RESPECT the nations wish. That is what the Aragalaya is about. 225 are completely out of tune about this.

Please don't try to follow your leader, think of the country situation.
Babs Wednesday, 25 May 2022 07:41 AM
Agreed

The offer was first put to your side. Your incompetent leader refused. After RW was roped to take oath,your guys rushed to GR again but it was too late. If you feel RW should continue as the PM without SLPP pressure, just go and strengthen him as a team at least for a year until things settle for the country. Leave aside party principles and policies for a year.

Should he do the Baila, the Samba, or the Waltz?
Kamal Bolawansa Wednesday, 25 May 2022 09:56 AM
Yes, Ranil and Gota too should step down, if the country to prosper.
Hubert Congreve Wednesday, 25 May 2022 09:57 AM
Ranil is under the garments of Rajapakshes' hence he should get out soon chasing Gota from his seat.

Ranil is just a empty vessel with coat and suit, he should get out, this is the stance of the entire SriLankans.

He had the guts to take up the post at least, you fellows are cowards - now you all are jealous its a question of sour grapes.

RANIL IS UNOFFICIALLY IN SLPP!

This bugger of hoot should be treated the way R. Premadasa gave the TYRES a new definition during the JVP uprising event against J.R. Jayawardena, which was also induced by Premadasa himself to grab the leadership of his party i.e. DEAD UNP from JRJ planning to empower Lalith Athulathmudali.
