UNP backbenchers are planning to vote against the expenditure head of President Maithripala Sirisena when it is taken up at the coming budget, UNP MP Mujibur Rahaman said.

He told a media briefing that UNP backbenchers have come up with a proposal that the party should not vote for the expenditure head in a situation where the President is continuously criticising the UNP.

“President is always criticising continuously and calling us thieves. There is no reason why we should help in getting his expenditure heads passed,” Mr. Rahaman said.

He also accused the President of sabotaging development work and not allowing the Cabinet to approve any paper.(Yohan Perera)

Of course you are thieves , everybody knows it . Please go ahead with your plans , you will dig up your own grave . For instance look at RK , he is given a new ministry and he has started stealing again . That doesn't mean the guys in opposition are clean ,they are the same , they are waiting till they get a chance . This is pathetic, we ordinary people sick of theses bloody politicians

Not only the President, even we the UNP supporters are critical of some of the doings of the Leaders. The Party will see how it has fared at the next elections.
