Pesident Maithripala Sirisena is hoping to become the Prime Minister under the new Constitution, JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva claimed on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a function in Matale, Silva said the executive presidency will be completely removed from the new Constitution.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe President hopes to be a candidate for the post of Prime Minister for the next elections. He is already strengthening the SLFP for this,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, the division of the SLFP was now a problem to the President. \u201cProvincial Councils are the grass-roots of politics in this country. Dissolving them has caused a number of issues where services are concerned. The President is under the impression that delaying the Provincial Council elections can resolve the issues within the SLFP,\u201d he said<\/p>\n

.
\nCommenting on parliamentarians being investigated, Silva said Minister of Social Empowerment and Welfare, S. B Dissanayake, has similar charges levelled against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey have left him alone as he is a minister in this government. They have not taken any measures to investigate the ministers and parliamentarians connected to the government,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The General Secretary also went on to say that the ETCA with India would be detrimental to the Sri Lankan economy. \u201cUnder this, local engineers and doctors will lose their jobs and the estate sector workers will have to work for Rs. 250 a day as the estates will be able to bring in cheaper labour from India,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Both the previous and the present government could not resolve the economic issues in the country, Silva said. <\/p>\n
