Samagi Jana Balawegaya ( SJB) General Secretary Ranjith Madduma Bandara today denied reports that he was to cross over to the government together with a large group of SJB MPs.
" I don't intend to shift sides as that kind of thing is not in my book. There was a time when my own party leaders told people not to vote for me and still I did not crossover. I was offered a ministerial portfolio in 2006 yet I declined it," he recalled.
" However there is a sinister move to divide the SJB by interested groups. Forming an all party government is one thing and dividing parties another thing," he added.
" We will support the government through Parliament committees without accepting ministerial portfolios," he also said.(Yohan Perera )
