The National People's Power (NPP) will re-launch the battle from June 8 to force the government to hold the Local Government elections, as 09 June completes three months since the LG polls have been delayed, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said.
Addressing a rally at Balapitiya, he said all the NPP candidates who were contesting the LG polls would come before the Elections Commission on June 8 and demand the election.
Dissanayake said they will then organise protest campaigns in Gampaha, Hambantota and Anuradhapura and finally will launch a massive people's struggle to surround Colombo.
"These rulers have inflicted grave destructions on the country and its people. The recently issued Central Bank report shows that 68 percent of the population have either reduced the amount of food consumption or reduced the number of their meals. It also shows that 40 percent of the patients have stopped taking medicines. Around 40 percent have cut down on education expenses, 500,000 people employed in regular employments have lost their jobs. Some 1,004000 unskilled labourers have left the country last year. The majority of the working force are trying to leave the country," he said.
He said the NPP was struggling to convert this country into a suitable country where people can live and added that the NPP was ready to take up the challenge.
Nominations for the Presidential election should be called for before August next year he said and added that the LG polls and Provincial Council elections should be obtained.(Ajith Siriwardana)

These people cannot even turn with Ranil. They will be wiped out in no time. Plan something proper man or ask Ranil how to do it.

Cancer is going strike back. Some strong radiation therapy is required. LG polls will bring another set of thieves.
Mahila Monday, 29 May 2023 07:27 AM
Tissa, Very True! Cannot agree with you more!! Exercise in Futility, serves just to test “Political Parties' Strength, Voters Pulse” in each location prior to GE or PE, to elect a Horde of uneducated thieves, self-serving Thakkadi Politicians Best is have all the Polls together Presidential, GE which may be meaningful for System Change!! Then have LG and PC's together for administering the Districts!!! Save this money for those elections as there would be hardly any impact on issues at Stake presently!!??

Since he plans to surround Colombo (for the nth time?) he should remind his supporters to bring along cakes of soap too. Let's also hope Anura kumara will creep into a more dignified place than the last time.
Sam Silva Sunday, 28 May 2023 05:50 PM
How many times you tried to protest and was it successful. As long as Ranil in power nothing going to happen. Just because you make noise the ruling party not going to get scared.
Sampath Sunday, 28 May 2023 05:52 PM
Another pathetic move to bring the country to Anarchy !!! Very sad.
lester Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:06 PM

kamal Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:07 PM
what happened to the bell? yeah you will lose bigly if you contest using the bell. had to hide behind the compass.
Anne Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:19 PM
For NPP/JVP to thrive they need chaos and unsettled atmosphere in the country and being the power hungry hypocrites and maniacs they are, they would go to any lengths to create such chaos. Without chaos in the country they and their impractical views and policies cannot survive.
johan Sunday, 28 May 2023 07:21 PM
Now only RW has instructed his party stalwarts to start their maiden rallies called "Balamandala" he will wait till their feathers are strengthened .Until then there is no hope for him to hold elections. We know his double mind
Habarana gamini Sunday, 28 May 2023 08:35 PM
We don’t need provincial LG It’s waste of money
Rathnavali Sunday, 28 May 2023 08:44 PM
JVP in sheep's clothing! You will brainwash the youth who were not even born when you tore the country to shreds....so anything you say to attract the gullible will make them think you are the saviour. But the majority will never vote for JVP.
Dee Sunday, 28 May 2023 08:47 PM
Yes yes better! People are loosing direction of your compass! Starting with that lovely lass who gave wrong directions to the biker boys!
DHA Sunday, 28 May 2023 10:50 PM
Is time this party is banned ! Remember Ranil is not like Gota….the guy has noting to lose!

Stop taking Allopathic Medicine is an improvement amongst Sri Lankans that may lead to a Disease-Free lifestyle to begin by the people. This will help them take note and be aware of Ayurvedic Medicine to shape their life into a better and healthy shape whereby living and experiencing the fruition of the essence of longevity.
Mothefanura Sunday, 28 May 2023 11:08 PM
Most probably, NPP's Anura Kumara Dissanayake himself will introduce a new culture amongst Sri Lankans on how to marry their OWN MOTHER's SISTER (Maternal Aunt) as he does right now. Therefore, vote for him.
Jude Sunday, 28 May 2023 11:46 PM
Should demand for Presidential election or general elections ASAP.
Gnana maniyoo. Monday, 29 May 2023 04:25 AM
Those who think Ranil can become an 'elected' President are day dreaming. Same goes to JVP/JJB.
Lion Monday, 29 May 2023 04:34 AM
Ranil has been in the parliament for 45 years and contributed immensely for bringing the country to the present position. The country is named recently as one of the most poorest countries in the world. You got to examine your head if you think that this country is heading towards prosperity since we don’t see petrol and gas queues but in reality it some thing very different. People have no money to pump petrol and buy gas . The simple reason why the government is increasing the quota is less demand for fuel. What future for this country when the parliament is comprised of bribe takers , murderers, bar owners, earth and sand permit holders and the latest addition is the gold smugglers.
Ram Monday, 29 May 2023 04:44 AM
This I consider a good move. Ranil is appear to be a Dictator who is using an iron fist to control us. No democracy in the country. People think RW has done wonders. No. Cars and luxury item imports were stopped and many went overseas for employment and the send money. That is saved with imports curtailed so we have a little SSS to play
J fernando Monday, 29 May 2023 04:59 AM
AKD never made any statement about Aragalaya on the 8th This is just propaganda.
Lakmal T Monday, 29 May 2023 08:03 AM
Ranil and his thieves need to be kicked out. An unelected person should not be the president of the country and hold the nation using the military and police. What pathetic comments trying to keep the same crooks who bankrupt the country. Do those who support Ranil hope to do the same thing and see a different result?
DW Monday, 29 May 2023 08:20 AM
This time they are messing with Ranil. May be a big mistake. Hope they'll realise it sooner or later.
Drowning man's voice Monday, 29 May 2023 08:28 AM
Dollar has come down below Rs.300/- and Petrol quota to be raised. The doomsday voice Janaka Ratnayake is lost. People have forgotten Anura, GL, Wimalaya and Gom.pilla and started to reorganize daily life. Exams are to be held today. Citizens remember only day to day life.
Leo Monday, 29 May 2023 08:34 AM
The JVP/NPP have no plan, just talk only. Under your rule more people will leave the country more will go hungry, and the country will be dragged back 150 od years, thanks to your nut head undergraduates.

SAME JVP IN 88/89 DEMANDED PEOPLE TO NOT TO WALK TO THE POLLING STATION FOR VOTING HYPOCRITES
Sunil Monday, 29 May 2023 11:20 AM
This is the need of the hour. This dastardly pin president is suppressing all the democratic rights of the people and has already initiated dictatorial rule. He and his colleagues should be chased away immediately.
Gamini Monday, 29 May 2023 12:47 PM
JVP don't want people to have a peaceful life. They want to disrupt anything done by RW to move forward, as they have only peoples suffering to bank on to obtain votes at the next election SAY NO TO JVP
Saman Monday, 29 May 2023 05:51 PM
Ranil's Trolls putting up comments pretending to be ordinary people will not fool us. The thieves who plundered the country's wealth and made this a law-less land needs to be chased away along with their guardian, the president appointed by the thieves
