Mahindananda
sets out rigging plan for PC poll
The government's plan to rig the
upcoming North Central and Sabaragamuwa
Provincial Council elections was
revealed last week by Power Minister
Mahindananda Aluthgamage.
Minister Mahindananda Aluthgamage
addressing an election rally in
Mawanella in the Kegalle District on
Monday, August 11 said that there was no
reason why the government could not win
the forthcoming provincial council
elections as the police, army,
government and the President was theirs.
"If the country's government, police,
army and the President is ours, why
cannot we win the election?" he asked.
Referring to the elections to be held on
August 23, Aluthgamage said that the
government had to pass the exam that was
going to be held that day.
He said that what mattered was the
results of the exam and not how the
examination was passed, and that the
government would pass the exam on the
23rd even by copying.
He also said, "We have not started our
work yet. We will come here on the 21st
evening to start work on the election.
We will stay the night in your villages
and leave only after filling the ballot
boxes on the 23rd."
