The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) held a huge public rally at the Salgadu Stadium in Anuradhapura yesterday (09).
Opposition activists had initially said that the rally would not be attended by a large number of people due to various issues in the country, and activists within smaller parties which are within the government also wanted the Pohottu rally to fail.
None of the smaller parties in the government, including the Sri Lanka Freedom Party, the Jathika Nidahas Peramuna and the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya, were present at the rally.
But Pohottu’s first rally as a single party was a resounding success, and it is clear that the various issues in the country have not had a major impact on Pohottu’s popularity.
It is undeniable that the SLPP rally yesterday delivered a powerful message that anyone who is active in the current political arena should read about the reality on the ground.
