TNA candidate joins UPFA
Praises President’s services to people:
A TNA candidate contesting the Karachchi Pradeshiya Sabha at the
forthcoming Local Government election joined the UPFA on Wednesday in
the presence of Tharunyata Hetak Organization’s chairman and Hambantota
District Parliamentarian Namal Rajapaksa. M Suppaiah, a resident of
Karachchi PS lauded the services of President Mahinda Rajapaksa and the
government for the uplift of people in the Northern Province.
He added that he was impressed by a massive development drive in
progress covering all nooks and corner of the province.
Suppaiah said that he has never seen such massive development
projects being implemented in the Northern Province since independence.
He was of the view that the TNA can never think of such a massive
development drive taking place in the country.
“I believe that the Tharunyata Hetak Organization is capable of doing
many things for the welfare of people in the region,” he added.
Suppaiah said that he has tremendous faith in the Tharunyata Hetak
organization and the government headed by President Mahinda Rajapaksa.
He added that neither the LTTE nor the TNA was able to solve the
problems faced by the Tamils.
“I joined the UPFA expecting nothing in return. I want to strengthen
the hands of President Mahinda Rajapaksa who is striving to promote the
living standards of the people in this area by launching various
projects,” he added. Suppaiah added that he lost his three children due
to the LTTE. “One of my children was studying at the Engineering Faculty
of Peradeniya University and he was abducted by the LTTE,” he added. He
said that he was forcefully enlisted to the LTTE’s fighting cadre and he
lost his life.
Suppaiah said that he has only four children. “I do not want to drag
the country into a another gruesome period again. That’s why I expressed
my support to the government,” he added.
He was of the view that it is the government and the UPFA that can
ensure peace and prosperity in the Northern region and the country at
large. |
