JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva said no one should judge his party by its performance at the elections as its struggle to resolve the burning issues in the main sectors went well beyond elections.

The JVP has suffered a setback by losing its three representations - two in Sabaragamuwa and one in the East. However, the party retained its seat in the North Central Provincial Council.

He said the party would launch a struggle to resolve the crisis in the education sector and the issues facing the farmers. "These struggles are far from over as the election alone will not help the people resolve the burning issues in society," he said.
