It’s a betrayal
The member of the Central Committee of the JVP Sunil Handunnetti has said his party was not surprised by the decision taken to give nominations to former President Mahinda Rajapaksa under the UPFA.
Mr. Handunneththi said the act to give nomination to the defeated former President would be a betrayal of the aspirations of 6.2 million people. He pointed out that Mr. Mahinda Rajapaksa too has betrayed the 5.8 million people who voted for him and against Maithripala Sirisena.
He said the decision to nominate Mr. Rajapaksa was an act of loathsome politics and is carried out due to greed for power.
