Former Chief Minister of the North Central Province, Berty Premalal Dissanayake said that he would be the Chief Minister in the North Central Province until his death as long as the people of the area were with him.

Addressing his first election propaganda meeting held at his house in Anuradhapura, Mr. Dissanayake said no persons   both from the opposition as well as within his party – were there to challenge him for the Chief Ministerial portfolio.

“The day after the election, Berty Premalal Dissanayake will be the Chief Minister of the North Central Province. There is no doubt about that and no one can change it,” Mr. Dissanayake said adding that, “there are some media reports about the next Chief Minister, but no one should care about those reports, as I will be the Chief Minister forever.” (Athula Bandara -Anuradhapura)
