The Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) is ready to face an election at any time and the party will win if an election is held even today, former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa said on Sunday (16).
“The veteran politician’s claims of being ready to face an election came during a speech made at a public rally in Nawalapitiya, which was part of a series of rallies held under the ‘Let’s stand together’ campaign of the SLPP.
Mahinda Rajapakse admitted that although they may have made mistakes, there have been people in history who have made mistakes before.
“When something goes wrong, we have a chance to fix it. We don’t need to be ashamed.”
“We know there is a section of this country against us. When we have an election, we know that we will have more. Even today, if there is an election, a general election, we will win. That is the truth,” he added.
SLPP MPs Ramesh Pathirana, Indika Anuruddha, Namal Rajapaksa, Mahindananda Aluthgamage, and Keheliya Rambukwella also participated in the public rally. (NewsWire)
