A government under him in the future will be committed to implementing the 13th Amendment to the Constitution, Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa said recently.

During the donation of a smart classroom to the Bharathipuram Maha Vidyalayam in Kilinochchi under the 'Sakwala' programme, he stated that many politicians visit Sinhalese communities, claiming to support only them, and then visit Tamil areas, making similar claims. This tactic is used to gather votes.

"While other parties spread lies in different areas, the Samagi Jana Balavegaya (SJB) consistently advocated for implementing the 13th Amendment to the Constitution. We made this commitment across all provinces and remain determined to see it through.

"When discussing the 13th Amendment, some look away, some pretend not to hear, some chang the subject, some run away in fear, and some feel ashamed. I must say that all of them are political opportunists." he said.

He Promised NOT ONLY 13th Amendment to constitution, but 13th Amendment PLUS - don't know what PLUS meant, probably some addendum of Distinguished Anatomy to ENSURE HIM being elected in Perpetuity!!!??? NOTHING SEEMED TO HAPPEN!!?? Even 13 A Minus did not happen, though he made this promise post 2009 War Victory, visit of prominent personalities in the presence of Banki Moon, Manmohan Singh, Indian PM and British PM!!!??? His attention has been diverted to "Money Making or Grabbing 20% of loans – Capital projects, for well-being of MM Walauwe"!!?? Endeavour Very Successful!!??

But SJB will be defeated at the elections - I don't pay attention to their policies since I know they will never see the daylight

Sajith lacks the intellectual capacity to work out a good solution for this. Look at the emptiness of his speeches to understand his capacity. May be a good person - but you need a lot more than that to be a leader

To qualify, must be a rogue or a murderer, isn't it? Tangible action matters but container loads of talks. He has proved it.

This guy doesn't have any ideas of his own at all. He is going round repeating what the president had said earlier on all issues. Only difference is he says he will give more. But has not told how he is going to get all that money to keep his promises.

He is the only person who works for the depressed while being in the opposition without the government funds.

Here we go with another false promise. Many governments promised but no one did it.

Sajith gives out another of his secrets to decieve others Tuesday, 11 June 2024 07:55 PM

Even Gota is much better than Sajith Premadasa, as it should be obvious to all Sajith is just trying to get votes, and he will never succeed at bringing about 13A. That part of the now useless Constitution should have happened with referendum, not by the spineless MPs in the Parliament, while India had massive military in part of the country. Sajith is invoking memory of that corrupt time, and corrupt 13A, which all know is totally wrong. Sajith is trying to deceive the Tamil people to not vote for Tamil parties, and instead vote for SJB. Sinhala people must never vote for Sajith or SJB if they love our country and culture.

As he briefed he told about the distribution of money to education and health sector while allowing economical, political and cultural freedom.

Devolved governance is a plus to the center. 96% of MP's at the center are from the provinces. A vibrating economy in provinces cannot fail in participating development.

People cannot decide it as the due elections are not held. It is the issue.

At what cost. Our political system is not cost effective. We keep on adding different levels. Provincial Government system is a white elephant and someone should have the guts to completely change our political system

He first has to keep Sangaya and so called Mahanayakas who request to release the thug prisoner, away from this particular matter.
