Samagi Jana Balawegyaya (SJB) Parliamentarians today decided that it would take over the government, provided President Gotabaya Rajapaksa steps down from his post.

SJB MP Harshana Rajakaruna told the Daily Mirror that SJB has decided to take over the government, in the event the President leaves office.

“Most of the MPs had proposed that the party should take over the government, only if the incumbent President leaves office,” he said.

The party also met the other opposition political parties including the independent group and former Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe to explain its stance.

Meanwhile, Leader if Opposition Sajith Premadasa in a twitter message said his party is ready to accept any responsibility, but as long as it does not involve working with any crisis instigators.

“We have always offered our absolute support to overcome this crisis. It’s good to finally have a productive meeting with CB Governor and Treasury Secretary. It is a given that we will take on any responsibility as long as it does not involve working with any crisis instigators,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

President will retain his seat until Mahinda and family run and hide themselves, as if he can use the Tri-forces and Police to protect his family, finally he will step down.

The good end for this movie is Gota and Mahinda should be taken in to custody and kept behind bars, thereafter SJB will form a interim Government.

Sajith can be the Leader of SJB, paving way to Field Marshall Sarath Fonseka and Champika to run the show as Prez.

Ideal person to be the PM is Ranil, Finance Minister Harsha and Defense Minister Sarath Fonseka.
