Get ready for the local government election and choose the best people to lead the nation towards stability, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa said yesterday.   

Speaking during the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) convention at Campbel park . Premadasa said his party comprises people of ability to rebuild the nation.

 “ We are a group who can build the nation. Therefore get ready to bring a change through the local government election,” he said.    “Those who say unuth ekai munuth ekai are conspiring to destroy the Samagi Jana Balawegaya ( SJB) I am challenging them to do it. Let’s face an election. It will be possible to measure the strengths of the parties through an election,” Premadasa said.   

Our mission is Sri Lanka First. We work in unity. We reject extremist capitalism and extremist socialism. We embrace social market economy. We ensure economic benefit is trickled down in an equal manner. Rulers today don’t have a vision. Late President Premadasa implemented Janasaviya through objective time targets. We reject the contraction of the economy. Some think market forces can resolve everything. However state intervention is needed. A software revolution is needed,. Agriculture sector should be empowered with modern technology. We need to modernize infrastructure facilities,” he added.
