Minister K.D. Lal Kantha says that there is nothing wrong with the group that won the most seats in a local government body negotiating with another party to establish power. He further said that there is no problem in giving any name to it such as making deals.
He also said that the attempt by all the groups that did not win the most seats to come together and establish power seems to be anti-democratic in some way.
He said that the power of the Colombo Municipal Council has already been established unofficially by the National People’s Power and that it is only necessary to officially declare it.
The minister said this while expressing his views to the media at the end of a ceremony.
