Colombo, October 02 (Daily Mirror)- A future Samagi Jana Sandanaya (SJS) government will cooperate with incumbent President Anura Kmara Dissanayake in the event it secures a majority in Parliament at the General elections, its leaders said today.

SJS leaders Ranjith Madduma Bandara, Kabir Hashim, Mano Ganesan, Dayasiri Jayasekera and Dullas Alahapperuma told the media that if a government led by them comes to power it will cooperate with the incumbent President.

“We will not jeopardise the work carried out by Dissanayake,” all the leaders told the media today.

“People should not allow the same party which holds the Presidency to secure a majority in Parliament,” the leaders added.

They did not support the government in the past even when good things were done. They purposely created gatherings to help spread covid during Gota time.

"People should not allow the same party which holds the Presidency to secure a majority in Parliament,” the leaders added. " . You so called leaders don't have to wait for long to know what the people will decide.

When it comes to NPP, they must get 2/3 of 225 seats only then good laws will be passed, wasteful expenditure will be eliminated and a strong economy will be built. A strong opposition will not be good because they will use their parliamentary votes to derail corruption investigation and progress. SJB, UNP and SLPP has full of rogues, corrupt people

People SHOULD People allow the same party which holds the Presidency to secure a majority in Parliament, not thumping but workable majority. Especially under NPP Presidency which is definitely different from previous administrations. Trying a fast one to secure parliamentary majority. Will be a failed strategy.

Don’t Allow Previous Politicians To Advise or Join In Wednesday, 02 October 2024 07:05 PM

High time the same party should be allowed to hold leadership of both Parliament and Presidency. We saw the chaos between Ranil and Sirisena the recent past. Don’t need anyone who were part of previous regimes to join or advise the new governing team come 15th Nov onwards. AKD and his “A Team” should be able to manage with an another team of professionals advisors in various backgrounds the challenges the country is gonna face ahead.

As long as the listed old undesirables represent SJB, they will not go anywhere. The wallowing trough is too juicy for them to leave politics. What have any of you have done for the benefit of the children who go to bed hungry on a daily basis. Does any of you have a heart?

Have they got Sajith"s approval for this arrangement? Looks a bit strange as two of them who spoke about this are staunch supporters and also founder members of SJB. If this has been the decision of the entire party, such statement should have come out of Sajith's mouth.

There is not going to be a SJB government in Sri Lanka. Do not waste time and get your nominations list organized

That's exactly what people should allow. Unless everything will be a train wreck. This is regardless who won. If Sajith has won definitely they should get the majority as well. Otherwise it is very difficult in a country like Sri Lanka where politicians intentions are not what you would generally expect.

These are the guys who couldn't corporate, but chose to sabotage almost every single initiative to get the country out of the mess, when the country was going through its worst economic crisis! What has changed to their sudden change of heart and is it to be believed?
