Anuradhapura, July 30 (Daily Mirror)- Most of the Parliamentarians who are said to be forming an alliance with the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) on August 8 had sought to join the National People's Power (NPP) but were rejected due to their bad political history, NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said today.

Speaking at a farmers' rally in Bulnewa, Anuradhapura, he said the NPP will never get the support of MPs who were responsible for the destruction of the country.

"Most of the MPs who are said to form an alliance with the SJB on August 8 discussed with us to align with the NPP. We refused to align with them. We will not take anyone who has been engaged in the destruction of the country and have supported wrong decisions," he said.
