UNP Badulla District Parliamentarian Harin Fernando resigned from the Parliament a short while ago to contest the forthcoming Uva Provincial Council Elections.
Prior to his resignation, he made a speech in Parliament saying he had taken this historic decision in the greater interests of his party and his voters in the Badulla District.
“It is a hard decision to resign from this House and contest the provincial council elections as an opposition member. It is an easy task for a ruling party member. On one occasion an opposition member resigned from Parliament but that was to contest an election on the government ticket. That is an easy decision. But, I am taking a serious and difficult decision,” he said apparently referring to the resignation of Dayasiri Jayasekara from the House as a UNP MP to contest the election on the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) ticket.

Mr. Harin we still can not forget your speeches and your media speeches......You suddenly lost your quality by big NOTES and PACKS by the regime culprits to change your mentality like this. As an educated man you behave like this for cheap quality? if you cross over, surely we will not support you any more. Im samaraweera from Badulla and you know me well how I work for your election rallies. But this time it will be different if you cross over and you will see the election result. DO NOT IMAGINE YOU ALSO ALSO GET HIGHEST PREFRENCIAL VOTES LIKE KURUNEGALA CHEIF MINISTER GOT...PEOPLE LEANRT SO AND THEY ARE NOT FOOL EIGHTER..SO YOU WILL SEE THE ELECTION RESULT.

we need Peace Tuesday, 05 August 2014 09:30 AM
well said by money and packs. Now government will make all round - up to win even spending millions from people funds to keep one family government on safe side. Therefore as voters we should be cheated on this present regime. let us open our eyes and make the right choice,,,,we do not want corruption and racism, less development in this country rather than THE ROADS..we need peace and harmony among Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslims. SLPF SHOULD LEARN TO WIN BY PEOPLES HEART AND THTEIR VOTES AND NOT BY THE JILMART OR BUY SOME ONE GIVING MILLIONS FROM THE CONCERNED DISTRICTS..WE LEANRT THIS IN THE PAST SO WE VOICE NOW TO PUBLIC TO MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE
