 Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) Sajith Premadasa said  yesterday. That he, unlike the National People’s Power (NPP), would not  engage in politics of hypocrisy   


“I have donated buses to all schools even to Thambuttegama  National School where NPP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake studied. I  did not deprive that school a bus just because Anura Dissanayake studied  in it,” Mr. Premadasa said during a gathering at Mahinda Rajapaksa MV  in Matara.   


“I have given a bus to the school where Anura Dissanayake  studied though he humiliates me by referring to me as ‘bus man,’ he  added.   


Mr. Premadasa said he cannot be labelled as a politician who  gives false promises. Don’t dare include me in the category of such  politicians who give false promises,” he said in this regard.
