Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) is not prepared to form any coalition government in the future, Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa said yesterday.   

“We are not going to form Accharu governments’ in the future and complain saying we could not attend to issues as the subject ministries were held by the other coalition partners,” Mr. Premadasa said during a public rally in Dambulla.   


He also challenged those who have presidential ambitions to work like him. “I have launched ‘Husmak’ programme to donate medical equipment to hospitals and the ‘Sakwala’ programme to donate IT equipment to schools. I don’t go bragging at press conferences and interviews nor am I engaged in social media politics. I have launched various programmes to help the needy. Some people don’t like my approach. However I challenge them to work like me,” Mr. Premadasa said.   


Also he questioned whether the present government had done any good to the people.
