Anarkalli: I did it like a lady

31 Mar 2014 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Actress Anarkalli Akarsha said that she would continue to engage in politics despite her failure to garner enough votes in the preferential list in the Matara District.

“I don’t see this as a downfall or a defeat. Engaging in politics is not an easy task, but somehow I did it for four and half years in the Galle District,” she said.

“I clearly asked voters in Matara to vote for the party and the party won the election. I will continue my political battle aspiring even to enter the Parliament in future,” she said.

She said that she engaged in her political campaign like a lady and played it by the rules. “I didn’t use cheap tactics. I didn’t give away inducements among the voters asking for their votes. I campaigned like a lady,” she said.

She said that she was a peace maker and said she was receiving the fullest support of the people.(Lahiru Pothmulla)
