Colombo, July 03 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) General Secretary Sagara Kariyawasam highlighted that former Ambassador of Sri Lanka to Russia Udayanga Weeratunga has nothing to do with the party and thus, his statements regarding the party are of no importance.

He made these remarks when reporters questioned Kariyawasam referring to a statement made by Udayanga Weeratunga where he had stated that the SLPP will nominate Dhammika Perera as its Presidential candidate and Namal Rajapaksa as Prime Minister.

However, Kariyawasam refused to comment on the statement made by Udayanga Weeratunga.

While reiterating that the SLPP will field a Presidential candidate, Sagara Kariyawasam said they will consider supporting Ranil Wickremesinghe if he quits the United National Party and joins the SLPP.

"We have not yet decided as to who our Presidential candidate will be, said Kariyawasam, asserting that they will definitely field a candidate under the SLPP symbol.

"The decision on the candidate will be decided at the appropriate time," he added.

Does he think Ranil would leave UNP and join SLPP for positions ?? He must be out of his mind.

What short memories you have, he is a nephew of your leader who has been shielding him from all corruption charges framed against him including the MIG deal and he feels the pulse of the party than you because you are a novice to politics and immature to call the shots.

Blood is thicker than water. It is very funny that you do not know the relationship between your Lokka and Udyanga. Being the General Secretary of the SLPP your post is in the balance as the saying goes do not disturb a "Hornests Nest" as the repercussions cannot be fathomed!!!!!!!

Sagara is not fit to be SLPP Secretary if he does not know Udayanga. He may be giving voice cuts with the consent of his cousins MR or BR. If they are questionable raise the issue with MR?BR without going public like this time
