Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa has said that President Gotabhaya Rajapaksa has never asked him to resign and he is confident that he will never do so.
Mahinda Rajapaksa has stated this addressing a meeting of local government chairmen and district leaders of the SLPP held yesterday (27).
However, the President had informed the other party leaders in a letter yesterday morning that he had agreed to form an all-party government after the resignation of the current Prime Minister.
