01st time SLPP MPs form new alliance within the main alliance

Colombo (News 1st); Newly elected MPs from the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna have formed an alliance, said the SLPPs Pramitha Bandara Tennakoon.

"This group does not have a leader or a convener. Everyone is treated equally with a right to express their opinion," he said. The MP said there are no heroes among those in the faction and the objective is to fulfill the duties on behalf of the government and the people who elected them to the parliament. "As young parliamentarians, we look up to the government, the ministers, and senior lawmakers. We wish to emphasize the expectations of 6.9 million people lie on the shoulders of the parliamentarians who have not uttered a single word that causes inconveniences to the government," he stressed. A responsible government is required, said the SLPPs Pramitha Bandara Tennakoon adding one cannot forget the entire 22 million people including those who did not vote for the SLPP at the polls.
