National People’s Power (NPP) MP Najith Indika today slammed the opposition for their recent allegations regarding the establishment of power in local councils.
Addressing the Parliament today, MP Najith Indika said that the NPP, which has won a majority of the councils, has the right to establish power in these local councils.
“Our people have been elected to these councils. So, we have the right to establish power in these councils per the necessary legal provisions. If not, what else do we do? Bring people from home to establish power? The only option is to receive the support of other party members. How is this wrong?” he questioned.
MP Najith Indika further said that, however, this does not mean that the NPP has made deals with other political parties.
“We have only sought the support of single members and independent members. We have only done this in councils in which we won, securing a majority of seats,” he explained.
The NPP MP added that allegations are being raised by opposition MPs who had previously brokered deals for their political and personal advantage. (Newswire)
