Lakshman Kiriella, head of the UNP media unit says that neither his party nor the leader is in a hurry to take the government.
He expressed these views responding to a question raised by a media person pertaining to the balance of power after the resignation of the Ceylon Workers' Congress from the government.
Mr. Kiriella said that the latest source of profits of the Rajapakse Company was the said reawakening of Eastern Province. He said that Basil Rajapakse told recently that Eastern Province is the best resource of fisheries, timber and sand and the Company has now planned to extort these resources through several handpicked henchmen.
He said the government that has no ways to develop the Eastern province is planning to build a road to Thoppigala destroying the jungle and the sanctuary to extort the timber resources of the forest.
Commenting on the government's plan to hold elections in the Eastern province, Mr. Kiriella said that if the government held elections there without international monitors, it would not have a penny from the international community. He enquired how elections could be held in the Eastern Province where hundreds of thousands of people are displaced and over one thousand are killed while the armed groups roam freely.
When a journalist queried about the resignation of Thondaman, he said that it was expected since long and it was only the beginning of a parade of resignations.
