DEW has faith in TNA (Audio)

31 Aug, 2013

Government Minister DEW Gunasekera feels the Tamil National Alliance (TNA) will set a good example if it wins the Northern Provincial Council elections.
Gunasekera said that the TNA ?has a strong list of candidates contesting the polls headed by former Supreme Court Judge C.V. Wigneswaran.
He says the TNA will lead the council well and in the process they will also set an example for other provinces.
?If they win I feel they will be more democratic and they will also gradually move away from the separate state concept,? he said.
The Minister also said that some politicians enter the fray to contest polls for money while the more intelligent people stay away.
He said the upcoming elections should be used to identify that issue and bring about a change. (Colombo Gazette)
