The opposition, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) has donated a school bus to the Matara Mahinda Rajapaksa Vidyalaya under the party’s 86th phase of the “Sakwala” school bus programme.
The bus worth Rs. 5 million was donated to the school authorities under the patronage of Opposition and SJB Leader MP Sajith Premadasa.
Addressing the school following the donation, MP Premadasa pointed out that it was general practice, that if a political opponent’s name is in a certain place, other politicians will not look at it.
MP Premadasa further said that despite he and MP Mahinda Rajapaksa having differences of opinion, he worked to donate a bus to the school as he does not have such hypocritical views.
The Opposition Leader emphasized that the future of the children of the school was more important to him than the name of Mahinda Rajapaksa. (NewsWire)
