Plantation Minister Navin Dissanayake at a public meeting in Anamaduwa said, the United National Party (UNP) suffered because of rifts between the late leaders such as former President R. Premadasa and Gamini Dissanayake, and hoped a similar feud would not arise between him and his colleague Housing and Construction Minister Sajith Premadasa.

The Minister said there was a hard time ahead for the party.

“If we act properly, we can succeed. Our political opposition is also riddled with problems. They are yet to decide who is to be fielded next time as their candidate. We have to read the pulse of the people and act. We have to carry out an internal struggle within the party. We will field a candidate who is capable of winning,” he said.

The Minister said he endured many hardships during his political career. Also, he said a grave injustice had been caused to districts such as Puttalam and Matale as no one from these areas had been picked as Cabinet Ministers.

True in a way. Because of rifts in the govt, the country has gone reverse for last 3 years. If the same situation continues, the end will be disastrous.

what about other districts the politicians should have a holistic approach to the districts which is reflected in the currency we use its the reflection of the management of the country by UNP batticaloa district DOES not have ANY department functioning properly eg the rift between aggrarian department and irrgation department where farmers are not getting water and farmers are used as scape goats by authoritiesNO management and central government does not know whats going on which is leading and providing enough possibilities for seperate state due to BAD management
