State Minister Roshan Ranasinghe said that former President Maithripala Sirisena will not be allowed to contest in the Polonnaruwa district under the 'Pohottuwa' symbol and that the SLFP should contest independently in the upcoming general election.
He further said that he requests Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa and SLPP founder Basil Rajapaksa to facilitate arrangements towards this end.
According to surveys, the SLFP could win only four seats in the country if they contest independently, Minister Ranasinghe pointed out. He made these comments while addressing media in Polonnaruwa.
SLPP against the conditions set by SLFP
Meanwhile, parliamentarian D.V. Chanaka said that the conditions laid down by the SLFP in forming a new alliance for the upcoming general election were unfair.
He said that SLPP would be subjected to injustice due to these conditions.
