It is reported that there has already been much talk within Sajith Premadasa’s faction that Ranil Wickremesinghe’s next powerful move to strengthen his campaign would target Sajith’s faction.
Reports reveal that Sajith Premadasa is deeply disturbed by the upcoming challenge and Rajitha Senaratne’s silence for several weeks. He would do a lot of damage with a special intervention. Ranil Wickramasinghe, who has grabbed about 95 MPs from Pohottuwa, publicly announced that Sajith MPs will be ‘rescued’ within the next week.
Basil Rajapaksa and Namal Rajapaksa had told Ranil to win at least 20 members from Sajith’s party to support Ranil Wickremesinghe at the presidential election. Ranil Wickrahamasinghe, who had been silent about it, first grabbed members of the Pohottu, and critics have pointed out that he will be able to grab a large number from Sajith’s faction by showing that strength.
