The SLFP is ready to leave the government and join the opposition at any time. A senior member of the group told the ‘Aithiya’ website that the group of member of parliament had been told to be ready for it.
He says that in the face of rising opposition in the country, leaving the government is very good for the future of his party and that the “Podujana Peramuna” has given his party the opportunity to leave the government due to the insults done to his party.
Responding to a question raised by ‘Aithiya’ as to whether the matter was discussed at the recent Central Committee meeting, he said that not only was it discussed but also a decision was taken.
He further stated that if the SLFP leaves the government, it will lose not only 2/3 but also 1/2 to the government.
