Govt. using dead bodies to win elections: UNP candidate

By Yohan Perera
The UNP candidate for Matale District Asoka Bandara Tennakoon, brother of Minister Janaka Bandara Tennakoon yesterday said the victories in the battlefield in the North have been genuine. However he charged that the government was using the dead bodies of the brave soldiers to win the elections.

“Government should not use the dead bodies to win the elections; but the emerging down-fall of the economy would be the end of it,” Mr. Tennakoon told a news conference. He said the government was planning to hold a general election in May, but its days are numbered as it does not have the ability to put a halt to the declining economy.

“Government would suffer a similar fate as that of former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill who lost the election in UK after defeating the Germans in World War Two,” he added.

Mr. Tennakoon predicted that there would be a silent revolution in the coming provincial council election in the Central province as many active SLFP supporters have informed him that they would vote for the UNP silently. He said many of them are the ones who were harassed by extortions during the recent past.

Referring to the election campaign, he charged that some UPFA candidates have even demanded the mattresses and other belongings of the Dambulla police station and the constables do not have even a mat to sleep on.

He also charged that some UPFA candidates demand Rs 100 from every bus that is parked at the Dambulla bus stand, frustrating the bus owners.

In another episode Samurdhi recipients have been told by the UPFA candidates that their Samurdhi would be slashed if they fail to vote for them while those who have requested for electricity have been told that they would not be given electricity if they fail to support them.“Dambulla is turned into another Palastine with all the terror,” he added.
