President queries TNA’s choice of NP CM from the south
View(s):President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday asked why the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) had to bring a Chief Ministerial candidate from the South to contest the Northern Provincial Council.
“The person the TNA has chosen is from the South. He is the brother-in-law of my Cabinet Minister Vasudeva Nanayakkara. By getting him to contest for the Chief Ministerial candidate, is the TNA suggesting that there are no qualified and intelligent people in Jaffna to contest for the post,” the President asked, while addressing an election rally at the Duraiappah Stadium in Jaffna.
The President who spoke in both Sinhala and Tamil, said that the TNA is trying to deceive the people of the north to vote for it, and asked them to reject the Party.
