Oppostion main party UNP Western Provincial Councilor, Shiral Lakthileka addressing a public rally in Kadawatha on the 27th saturday said that Karu Jayasuriya should be appointed as the party's interim leader in order to re-build the party voter base and to re-unite it until Sajith Premadasa takes over the party leadership.
Shiral Lakthileka further said that if such a move is done, many problems faced by the party at present could be resolved with time and would bring unity to the party without having several fraction with in the party, which is the aspiration of every UNP member opposing the current administration headed by leader similar to a dictator.
Time is now ripen to defeat President Percy Mahinda's government which is misleading the public, anti-people, swollen headed and unable to understand the problems faced by the people every day. Dowbfall of Rajapakse regime could only be brought down by a people's struggle like those that took place in Tunisia, Egypt and in progress in Libya & several other Middle Eats Countries.
A free and fair election cannot be held as long as the 18th Amendment is implemented and a powerful executive presidency existed in the country. It would also be difficult to bring the disgruntled voters to cast their votes at elections.It is therefore a day dream to think that a change looked for by the people could be brought about at an election that is held under a government that works according to its agenda and misuse at its will sate resources and the Elections Department.
It is therefore important to build a people's leadership in the party that could get the love and confidence of the people and to give protection to the commitments made by the people. The Sajith-Karu combination that was formed for the local government election seems to be working in that direction whic is good for the party.
It is Sajith Premadasa's young and energetic leadership that has been accepted, loved and trusted by the people and party members.
Premadasa has given a great strength to our party candidates contesting against the government at the local government election by traveling to every small village.
The deputy leader together with the party secretary is traveling around the country in a bus. He is uplifting the party organizations that have fallen in various parts of the country using his long standing political experiences. His expertise, love and kindness has provided a great strength to the party activists.
The Sajith-Karu combination has given a great strength to the UNPers who are working towards a future victory. When Sajith Premadasa is working with great conviction to put the party back on the winning track, Karu Jayasuriya is working hard to manage the party affairs. This active relationship is essential for a future victory. Therefore, Karu Jayasuriya must be given the party's interim leadership to build the party base and unite it until Sajith Premadasa takes over the party leadership. If that happens, most of the problems faced by the party will be resolved with time. Party unity will also be safeguarded. That is the wish of the UNPers who are opposed to the government.
