The SLPP should hand over the government to someone who is more capable of running the nation, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa said yesterday.   

Mr. Premadasa made this remark in a special statement with regard to the fuel price hike and on the statement that has been issued by the SLPP General Secretary on the fuel price hike.   “SLPP seems to have forgotten that it is ruling the nation when one looks at the statement issued by its General Secretary blaming the subject Minister for the fuel price hike,” Mr. Premadasa said.   

It is the Cabinet, which makes important decisions such as fuel price hikes. In fact the Subject Minister has said it was a collective decision, therefore one wonders whether SLPP has forgotten that it is ruling the country at the moment,” he added.
