The year 2022 will be an year when the government is going to be toppled, Samagi Jana Balawegaya ( SJB) said yesterday.   

SJB MP Nalin Bandara Jayamaha told a press conference that the present government cannot be allowed to stay in power, given the issues faced by the government.   

“There will be a scarcity of food in 2022 especially as a result of at least 50 percent reduction in the paddy harvest during the Maha season. Also there will be a scarcity of vegetables as a result of the fertiliser issue,” he said.   
“One cannot give more chances to the government as per the given situation. An election is not needed to topple the government as history has shown that people’s protests could make governments to fall. Get ready for an uprising next year,” the MP added.
