The Samagi Jana Balawegaya has decided to go to the constituencies of the ministers and MPs who worked to defeat the no-confidence motion against Minister Udaya Gammanpila and make them aware of their role in the defeat of the motion. The Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa stated that steps will be taken to implement the awareness program from today (21) against the backdrop of increasing fuel prices and oppression of the people. Meanwhile, MP Rajitha Senaratne said that the government was able to defeat the no-confidence motion brought by the opposition under the guidance of Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa. MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka said that the government had taken steps to bribe members of minority parties to defeat the no-confidence motion. However, despite the internal problems, the Opposition will not be given any opportunity to weaken the government in the current situation, said the Secretary of the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna, Sagara Kariyawasam.
