Sarath Ekanayaka and S B Dissanayaka Promise to Cooperate for the Common Good |
|
|
The
Chief Minister of the Central Province Sarath Ekanayake (UPFA) and the
Leader of the Opposition S B Dissanayaka (UNP) addressing the inaugural
meeting of the new provincial council held recently solemnly promised
to set aside party differences and work for the common good.
Mr.
Ekanayake is a veteran of provincial council politics and assumes
duties with a resounding mandate that the people gave to him and
his party in the last election. Mr. Dissanayaka, though a novice
in the provincial council is a veteran in national politics with
aspirations to national leadership. He also got a strong personal
mandate from the people with a record preferential vote. Thus
both men can speak with confidence and authority. Moreover, both
have sibling support in the Council. Mr. Ekanayaka's brother Nandimitra
(UPFA) who himself was a former Chief Minister (1999-2000) was
returned from the Matale District. Mr. Dissanayaka's brother Saliya
Bandara (UPFA) who won a seat from Nuwara Eliya District was also
elected the Chairman of the Council.
