UNP, JVP and MC join hands to defeat the govt. at WP Council

A proposal to express displeasure to the government over its measures such as maintaining a big cabinet and increasing the cost of living to an unbearable level was passed in the Western Provincial Council with a majority today.

Opposition Chief Whip UNP councilor Lakshman Abegunawardhana set forth the proposal. JVP and Sri Lanka Muslim Congress MPs joined with the UNP to vote for the proposal while the SLFP voted against it. As a result, the proposal was passed with a majority of 24 votes. 52 councilors voted in support of the proposal while 28 voted against it.

Thanking the JVP and the SLMC, UNP councilor Lakshman Abegunawardhana introduced this move as a slap on the face of the anti people program of the government from one of the major people's institute.
