UPFA to hold major rallies in all seven districts of PCs

The United People’s Freedom Alliance’s (UPFA) victory at the Provincial Council election is assured due to the weak nature of the Opposition, including UNP and the JVP, coupled with the unprecedented development, SLFP General Secretary and Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena, said.

He made this observation at a United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) press conference at the Mahaweli Centre.

The minister further said that the UPFA has initiated a campaign immediately after handing over the nominations and plans are afoot to hold a main rally in each of the seven districts of the three provinces with the participation of President Mahinda Rajapaksa.

Sirisena stated that the UPFA is confident of victory as the government has initiated massive development projects not only in the three provinces where Provincial Council elections are due but in the entire country.

“No one can point a finger at the government and question it about the country’s development as it has brought unprecedented development in all the sectors in the aftermath of the elimination of terrorism”.

He said, “ the UPFA government also has established democracy in the country.”

Minister Sirisena further said that the UNP led governments from 1977 to 1994 and Ranil led UNP government from 2002 to 2004 have been rejected by the people due to their proper understanding of the UNP. He added that the public rejected the UNP for the infamous conduct such as betraying the country through Ranil-Praba Agreement, abductions, breach of fundamental rights, putting the independence of judiciary at stake by hurling stones at judges’ homes and such other incident and their attempt to fold the electoral map.

Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena, Petroleum Industries Minister Susil Premajayantha, National Languages and Social Integration Minister Vasudeva Nanayakkara, Child Development and Women’s Affairs Deputy Minister M L A M Hisbullah also spoke at the briefing.
