A public rally was held in Kaduwela under the auspices of JVP Politburo Member, K.D. Lal Kantha.Speaking at the rally, he expressed these views on the defeat of the budgets of local government institutions:

“They have imposed 60 laws where they can. They said the memberships would be taken away. They tried all the schemes they know, but there are cracks at the bottom.

We pray that these cracks in the Pradeshiya Sabhas will extend to the Provincial Councils as well. This will come to Parliament too in the near future.

Now the people are asking how they are going to solve this? What is the answer? Where is the opposition? Who is going to topple this?
