Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, although today is a financial debate, hearing points from both Government and Opposition compels me to respond.
¶ 02 In the recent Local Government Election in Trincomalee District, representing SJB, we secured 36 seats. In my Muttur electorate, SJB won and captured the Kinniya Urban Council. I thank the voters. Currently, parties are in talks to form administrations in councils; with the cooperation of other parties, we will proceed to form control where possible.
¶ 03 Today we sit in Opposition, but Ministers and Government MPs seem to have forgotten they are the Government, acting otherwise.
