Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA) Leader MP Mano Ganesan says the government’s recent programme to issue house and land deeds to plantation beneficiaries in Bandarawela was merely the distribution of ‘Letters of Intention’.
“The JVP government held a grand event at Bandarawela, with much fanfare, claimed to have issued house & land deeds to 2,000+ plantation beneficiaries under the Indian Housing Grant Project. But in reality, no new houses, no land identified, no foundations laid. Only “Letters of Intention”, he said.
He further said that in an act of deception, the hill country Tamil (Malaiyaha) politicos of the government distributed 234 ownership deeds of houses built during the previous government to the inhabitants of those houses, and yet they loudly made a hollow claim of giving 2,288 legal deeds
MP Mano Ganesan alleged that JVP Tamil politicos in the government have taken the innocent plantation residents, the whole country, and the diplomatic community and development partners in Sri Lanka for a ride.
“And what’s more, they have made the last laugh at their own leader, President Anura Kumara Dissanayake,” he added.
Opposition MP Mano Ganesan made the remarks in a statement shared on ‘X’. (Newswire)
