Some members from my own party are unhappy with me for criticizing President Ranil Wickremesinghe, former MP and Head of Samagi Vanitha Balawegaya Hirunika Premchandra said today.
Ms. Premachandra said these persons within the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) who criticize her are class conscious. “There are some people within the SJB who are class conscious and go after the people who represent the elite society,” she said.
“UNP, unlike the SJB, is dominated by elite class people. Our party consists of ordinary people and its leader does not endorse class consciousness within the party, but yet, there are a few who are addicted to highest social strata,” she added.
“I criticize President Wickremesinghe as he is like a drunkard who allows his associates to make advances on his wife and allow them to destroy his own family,” she also said.
The head of SJB women’s wing questioned as to how SLPP and UNP could work together in an alliance as the two parties are two different extremes." SLPP-UNP alliance will never be successful," Premachndra said in this regard.(Yohan Perera)
