Crises in UPFA multiply

SATURDAY, 02 AUGUST 2014

The measures followed by the internal committee appointed to pacify the internal conflicts that have developed in Rajapaksa regime have totally failed say reports.

As a result all political parties that represent UPFA government and individuals who have had confrontations with others are to be called to Temple Trees in order to find solutions for their issues say reports. An effort is to be taken immediately to find solutions for the issues as the situation that exists would have an effect on the forthcoming presidential election. Meanwhile, partners in the Alliance have already started leaving the Alliance.

A similar effort was made last year when budgets of local government bodies ruled by the UPFA were being defeated continuously by getting members of those local government bodies for discussions to Temple Trees. However, the budgets of many of the local government bodies were defeated for the second time as well.

According to political sources a majority in the government who oppose the Rajapaksa family rule are preparing to take alternative measures at future elections.

The clashes that have occurred between various sections of the ruling UPFA escalates daily. Among them the conflict between Ministers Nimal Siripala de Silva and Dilan Perera from Badulla District in Uva Province that is preparing for provincial elections has developed into a mini battle of words.

Minister Siripala speaking against Minister Perera says politicians should not get positions in sports associations while Mr. Perera says Minister Siripala has mixed up the ministry and the bed room.

Speaking regarding the Uva PC election Minister Siripala says after the election the ‘Tarzans’ who worked would remain but those ‘Tarzans’ who did not work would be cast aside.
