Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa has informed the leaders of the Podujana Peramuna to intervene in the problems that have arisen regarding the Aswesuma subsidy program introduced by the government.
He has also said that if this problem goes further, there will be big problems for the future of the party in the upcoming elections as well.
The former prime minister further pointed out that the most affected by these problems are the poorest people in the country, and that they should not be inconvenienced because they are a group of people who have always appeared in the victories of their party.
He has also said that holding the party’s Constituency Committee meetings in this situation will also pose a problem for the security of the MPs.
