Anura Bandaranaike was fooled by JVP, sister Sunethra says
Posted by Ajith on March 20, 2008
Anura Bandaranaike helped to get the support of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) in forming a government without being aware of the true nature of the JVP says Sunethra Bandaranaike.
The eldest sister of the former parliamentarian said that the move to get JVP support was an opportunist political step in order to gain power.
Sunethra Bandaranaike told BBC Sandeshaya that every politician is an opportunist when it comes to gain power.
His eldest sister says Mr. Bandaranaike was very disappointed on policies of Rajapaksa administration in which he was a member until last year.
In November 2007, Mr. Bandaranaike joined the opposition at the vote for government’s budget proposals.
He did not vote against the budget, says Sunethra Bandaranaike, to protest government’s war strategy and rising cost of living.
