The confusion within the SJB has further developed regarding the autocratic moves carried out by Sajith Premadasa. Allowing recently joined Pohottu councillor Wasantha Yapa Bandara to go on a foreign tour representing the party has caused a new internal crisis in the party.
No senior has been assigned a special role in representing the party abroad, but three prominent members, led by Wasantha Yapa Bandara, have been assigned to try to save the mercenaries sent to Russia.
The senior members of the SJB have voiced their concerns, accusing the newly joined members of using various schemes to score points. Nalaka Godaheva introduced a new economic strategy, G. L. Peiris launched a campaign project called ‘Democratic Access’ for this century, and Wasantha Yapa Bandara has now initiated a campaign to secure the release of the mercenaries trapped in Ukraine, all of which have added fuel to the internal tensions.
A group of three went abroad yesterday for Wasantha Yapa’s campaign, which has caused a new contradiction in the party. It is reported that they would engage in the project for ten days.
