A mad scramble for the chairs of the district development coordinating committees is on, these days, they say.


Most  Blue and Green Diyawanna members who failed in Ministerial ambitions despite topping the district preference vote lists are out in this race in full steam and are said to be pulling every wire possible to grab the powerful office carrying Ministerial status and perks.

Meanwhile, a comment  made by a yahapalanaya high authority from the hills that even the Ministerial ones themselves hailing from different districts could  double  as district coordinating committee chairs has ruffled the high preference vote scorers in the running, they say.
