Following the ousting of the President-Prime Minister-Finance Minister trio due to the people’s struggle ‘Aragalaya,’ the SLPP Leaders wished to appoint a person who does their bidding as the President, said Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa, divulging that the Pohottu Party invited him to accept the Premiership of the country in a plot to shut down his political career by tabling a no-confidence motion the very next day.
The Opposition Leader made this disclosure addressing an occasion held in Beralihela, Tissamaharama yesterday (30), where the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) donated agri equipment to the farming community living in the area.
The Opposition Leader emphasised that he is not politically immature to be blind before such ‘sugarplum’ plots. The government has proven that it is incapable of serving the country and the only demand ought to be made before such a regime would be the holding of an election, Premadasa pointed out.
As their own Finance Minister, Prime Minister and President had to go home due to the people’s struggle, the SLPP strategically appointed its crony, who is the current President, he added.
