Opposition leader Sajith Premadasa has accused the Government of conspiring to destroy the main opposition Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).

“I have got information that they are ready to pay Rs. 200 million for an MP to cross over. I don’t know if this Government is crazy. What’s happening now is that segments from the Government are joining the opposition” he said addressing a gathering in Dehiwala on Friday (31)

“They say the Government doesn’t have money to hold elections, but they have money to bribe MPs to cross over to protect the Government” he further said.

He went on to challenge the Government to try and bribe SJB MPs if possible and that SJB doesn’t have members who sell for money. (NewsWire)
