Chief Government Whip Minister Prasanna Ranatunga ruled out any plan to change premiership.

 

Making his remarks to the media, he said Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena had proven himself to be a veteran politician.


The Minister said there is no plan to remove him from office.


He  said JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake joined the then government led  by Ms. Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga despite the negative economic  growth rate and accepted portfolios.


“Anura Dissanayake accuses us of taking up positions. But, he also did the same,” the Minister said.
