Harin vows to give up politics if MS joins MR

2015-06-29
I will resign from politicsiIf President Maithripala Sirisena joins former President Mahinda Rajapaksa, Uva Chief Minister Harin Fernando said. 

“I firmly believe that President Maithripala Sirisena will never stoop to second class political activities. The former president is attempting to come to power so that he could take revenge from the people and his opponents and not to develop the country,” he said at a meeting in Badulla. 

Mr. Fernando said he received 1,450 permits for jobs while there were 4,301 applicants from the entire district. He assured that everyone would be given jobs. 

“I have done Rs.700 million worth of work in the Uva Province, and during the 100 days I allocated one million rupees to each Grama Niladhari area. The 100-day programme was not meant to provide employment. It seems that, those who worked for President Maithripala Sirisena's victory are left out while those who obstructed him at every turn are gathering round him. It is shameless to see the former president visiting temples. Instead of the sound of Sadhu, what you hear now at these temples are the sound of Jayawewa, Jayawewa.

” Mr. Fernando also handed over cash donations of Rs.50,000 to each of the Daham Pasals in the Badulla Secretariat Division. 

He also handed over Rs.2,500 to the pre-school teachers of Badulla. (Prasad Rukmal) - See more at: http://www.dailymirror.lk/77973/harin-vows-to-give-up-politics-if-ms-joins-mr#sthash.TIbtjwKA.dpuf
