Rajapaksa govt. taken aback by PC results
ByView(s):-Sunday, April 06, 2014
Concerns
for the United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Government last week
outweighed all others in its decade-long existence. The outcome of the
two provincial elections, just after the adoption of the UN Human Rights
Council (UNHRC) resolution, reverberated in the dovecotes of power.
This is the first time since the military defeat of Tiger guerrillas (in
2009) that the UPFA’s vote base has slid from 60 to just more than 50
per cent. It lost 17 seats in both councils in the Western and Southern
Provincial Councils. The sombre message was strong though some
embarrassed stalwarts tried to downplay it. Different ministers gave
different views, not surprisingly, some contradictory.
