No reactionary force can retract people’s support to Govt

The Government, with the strength of the Presidential Election victory, will get a two thirds majority in Parliament at the forthcoming General Election to be held in April. No reactionary force can retract the public support arrayed behind this massive victory at the Parliamentary Election, Local Government and Provincial Councils Minister Janaka Bandara Thennakoon said.

The Minister was addressing the villagers assembled at the commissioning of several rural electrification projects in Galewala AGA division recently.

These rural electrification projects were funded by the SIDA of Sweden Government and near 400 families in Ihala Diggela and Pahala Diggala would benefit from this project. The project cost is Rs. 13.2 million.

Despite the fact that the villagers had misgivings over the delay in the commissioning of this project, politics of Thennekoon had never been of false promises. We have never misled people.

That’s why you are getting this facility today, the Minister said.

He also stressed that the Government would contemplate changing the Constitution with the two thirds majority. Central Provincial Councillor Pramitha Bandara Thennekoon, Galewela Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman M. P. R. P. Jayathilake were also present.
