The UNP and the NPP are the partners to the biggest political deal of all, charged opposition leader Sajith Premadasa.
That became evident at the fiasco orchestrated by ITN in a programme a few days ago.
The moderator of the programme is a person against whom the JVP has gone to courts, said Premadasa at a farmers’ meeting in Anuradhapura yesterday (16).
He also said that being a principled person, he declined the premiership on 71 occasions, and that he would accept positions with the blessings of the people only.
He stressed that he rejected the presidency and the premiership as he never ever wanted to become the guardian of the Rajapaksas.
He said that his only deal would be with the 22 million people of the country.
