(UTV|COLOMBO) – JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake says that usually election battles take place during the election period, but now election battles are happening within the political parties.
The JVP parliamentarian charged that the reason these individuals are fighting to become the presidential candidate is because they believe that they will only benefit if they sit on “the king’s throne”.
He said that if it is a political party there should be no need to squabble over the candidacy as a party has policies therefore it will choose and put forward a candidate.
Dissanayake claimed that former President Mahinda Rajapaksa does not want to give presidential candidacy to even his younger brother, and that he is still having some doubts about it.
The JVP MP said that only a good system, unity and dedication can fix the country.
