Several Diyawanna members from the Pohottuwa group in the government are maintaining close ties with the Telephone party these days, they say. 

However, they seem to be reluctant to team up with the Telephone party immediately. So, they have, they say, found an indirect way of getting closer to that party.

They would at the outset join a minor political party led by a Top Team Member which would later ally itself with the Telephone party!

These  dissident Pohottuwa members are said to be having intense discussions on the proposed move behind the scenes, these days, they say. 

By the way, the Top team member in the government who has agreed to provide the  rebel group with a stepping stone is said to be a politico carrying much clout!
