Newly appointed Deputy Minister of Buddha Sasana and Democratic Governance, Tissa Karaliyedda today said his assuming duties on his post is yet to be decided.

Giving reasons for his sudden decision, he said his supporters had expressed their disappointment and opposition over his acceptance of the minister post offered by the new government.

“We never expected that we would be given minister posts in such ministries and subjects by the central committee of SLFP. I asked many villagers in Madawachchiya and all of them requested me not to accept the post,” Mr. Karaliyedda said.

He also said that he would honour the supporters’ decision.

The only masses that support MR are a minority of the 58K he recieved. Dont be misled that the people want MR back. The 62K who voted him out just three months ago dont want him back, Infact we are waiting till he lands in jail for what he did.

Current position is that the MPs do not consult the voters after they are elected to power.

As a man of integrity he has taken a principled position. Besides his position is a reflection of the masses that are supporting MR.

There is no money in that. He needs a ninistrylike trade, health with the oppertunity to get a commission.

Why go around asking villagers whether to accept or not to accept this and that. Should not entrust any responsible positions to this dumb goats who can not make their own decisions.
