He made this sentiment while addressing a media briefing of Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) held in Colombo today (28).

“Forming governments is not like a game played by kids.You cannot join nor leave governments at your wish. The President should understand this gravity” he said.

President Maithripala Sirisena  on January 27 stated President he was willing to establish a government led by Sri Lanka Freedom Party, if all 96 United People’s Freedom Alliance (UPFA) Parliamentarians joined hands with him.
