Colombo, September 07 (Daily Mirror) -  Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) presidential candidate said that there is a nexus between independent candidate Ranil Wickremesinghe and National People’s Power’s (NPP) candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake.

He said any vote for these two candidates is a waste in that sense.

“UNPers should vote for us instead of allowing their votes to be wasted by voting for President Ranil Wickremesinghe. A vote for Mr. Wickremesinghe means a vote for Anura Dissanayake. A vote for Dissanayake is a vote in favour of those who abused public funds," Mr. Premadasa told a rally in Minuwangoda.

“Recent statements made by Wickremesinghe had made it clear that he is not sure of his success and that he and Dissanayake have some kind of understanding," Mr. Premadasa added.

"Both Dissanayake and Wickremesinghe are scared that an SJB government will develop the nation. They are scared that we will construct houses, they are scared that we will convert all state schools into smart schools. They are scared that we will develop the health sector, " he also said.

He said his rivals cannot deceive people."Sri Lankan population is not foolish. They cannot be fooled," he said.
