The Samagi jana balavegaya (SJB) and Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa yesterday said the government should resign and hold a snap general election immediately as it has failed to fulfill its promises and was driving the country towards bankruptcy.
Premadasa speaking during the “Wipakshayen Husmak’ programme today under which medical equipment were donated to rural hospitals, said the government should resign forthwith as it had led the country towards bankruptcy.
He charged that the government has brought back the era of queues and the people are facing immense hardships.
He said the government is unable to settle debt and was heaping one burden after another on the people.
Therefore the government should resign and give the people the opportunity to elect a new government of their choice, Premadasa added.
