Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) General Secretary, MP Ranjith Maddumabandara said the JVP is apprehensive about the alliance that will be established by the SJB in collaboration with various other parties.
Maddumabandara further stated that the JVP’s decision to change its name to Jathika Jana Balawegaya (JJB) is a result of their dark and alarming past.
During a press conference at the Opposition Leader’s office, he said the country’s economy was devastated by the JVP. He said that a large number of factories were destroyed by the JVP. “How many transformers were set on fire, how many buses were set on fire, how many people were killed,” he asked.
The SJB General Secretary said that the JVP did not allow private universities to be established in the country nor did they allow investors to initiate investments in the country.
He said that the JVP’s principles have not changed even though they changed the name of the Party.“The JVP has the best rally on May Day, they conduct the successful election rallies but they don’t get much votes at elections,” he said.
The MP said that the SJB will form a wider and strong alliance for the upcoming election.
