SLPP National Organiser Basil Rajapaksa, breaking the months-long silence said it was a correct decision to join with Ranil Wickremesinghe as the latter created a path for them to engage in politics peacefully.
Rajapaksa who dismissed the allegations that the SLPP is scared of elections said, the time has come for an election.
“It’s difficult to say how it will be given the current circumstances, but as a party, we’re ready to face any election,” he said.
He also said the SLPP is always with the people.
“We won every election we faced. I thank the people for that. If we could not fulfill their expectations I regret it. We will correct our shortcomings,” Rajapaksa said.
