The Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) highly values the services rendered by tea plantation workers in producing high quality teas for local consumption as well as the export sector, said SJB Leader and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.

He said steps will be taken to grant the ownership of these tea plantations to workers under an SJB Government.

Addressing a group of plantation workers at Nuwara Eliya the Opposition Leader reminded them of the exemplary service rendered by former President Ranasinghe Premadasa to uplift the livelihood of the country’s plantation workers.

He said the former President took prompt measures to resolve the day to day problems faced by plantation workers and their children.

He said in addition the former President pioneered to get the permanent citizenship of almost all plantation workers during that period.The Opposition Leader further said plantation workers need better housing facilities and promised them that under the SJB Government one day he would personally look into the housing matters of plantation workers and the education issues of their children under the ‘Sakwala’ Educational Programme.

He also urged the Government to desist from hindering the on-going peaceful campaigns.

He said even the people have rejected the Government and the SJB’ s only objective is to create a corruption free country.

The Opposition Leader said even today people are on the streets and demanding the President to step down and hold fresh elections.

The Opposition Leader once again reiterated that under an SJB Government all those responsible for robbing State resources will be brought to book.

Premadasa also said the Government should reduce the escalating prices of essential items considering the plight of poor people.
