| 'People taught a UNP bitter lesson' Chilaw special correspondent "Though the UNP thought people would believe everything it said, the results at the last general election amply indicated they were intelligent enough not to be duped, said the Alliance candidate Palitha Rohana contesting the forthcoming Wayamba Provincial Council polls. Mr. Rohana was speaking at a meeting held at Madampe off Chilaw. Rohana said: "It was enough evidence to show the people repudiated the UNP lock stock and barrel and he requested people should vote for the Alliance and give a resounding victory bringing out the same result. What the UNP did was to betray the country talking of peace. People who knew better taught the UNP a bitter lesson by defeating it at the last poll". Wayamba Alliance Provincial Council election candidate Nishantha Perera said: "Place your implicit faith in the Wayamba Provincial Council in the same manner you trusted the Alliance". The Wayamba Provincial Council will work hand-in-hand with the Alliance to improve the country's economy, Perera added. Chilaw UC Opposition Leader Hilary Prasanna Fernando and UC Member Sadikul Ameen also spoke. |
