Video: Form interim UPFA govt. with Chamal as PM - Prof. Vitharana



The leftist parties had requested President Maithripala Sirisena to set up an interim UPFA government before the general elections and appoint Chamal Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister to ensure stability in the country and to fulfill political reforms, Lanka Sama Samaja Party (LSSP) leader Tissa Vitharana said today.

 “I requested President to appoint Chamal Rajapaksa as the Prime Minister temporally because it will help ensure the unity in the party. We can rescue the country from the downfall it had experienced today and bring development process back on track,” he said.

Professor Vitharana told a joint news conference of several political party party leaders such as Vasudeva Nanayakkara, Douglas Devananda, Prabha Ganeshan that the UPFA government had a mandate to govern the country till 2016 and that it would not annul even after the defeat at the last presidential election.

“It is a wrong move to appoint a UNP government led by Ranil Wickremesinghe. The economy is in a great crisis and the cost of living is skyrocketing after the new government was elected. There has been no government in history that went bankrupt within six months,” he said.(Ajith Siriwardana)
