Batticaloa District MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam has slammed the National People’s Power (NPP) for helping the Tamil Makkal Viduthalai Pulikal (TMVP) to establish power in the Vakarai Pradeshiya Sabha.
The TMVP is headed by former State Minister Sivanesathurai Chandrakanthan, alias ‘Pillayan’, who remains detained in connection with the 2006 abduction and disappearance of a university vice chancellor in the Eastern Province.
Taking to ‘X’, MP Shanakiyan Rasamanickam accused the NPP of supporting Pillayan’s party to secure the Vakarai Pradeshiya Sabha.
“Today’s events at the Vakarai council have made it clear that the NPP lacks consistent principles or policies. NPP members supported the candidate from Pillayan’s TMVP, helping them secure the Chairman position, defeating the ITAK candidate,” MP Shanakiyan said. (Newswire)
