Fri, Nov 20, 2009, 07:27 pm SL Time, ColomboPage News Desk, Sri Lanka.

Nov 20, Colombo: The Marxist Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) today said that they have still not discussed with General Sarath Fonseka on appointing him as the common candidate for upcoming presidential polls.

Speaking at a press briefing held in Colombo this morning, the propaganda secretary of the JVP, parliamentarian Vijitha Herath said that his party hopes to hold discussions on this issue with General Fonseka in the coming days.

According to Herath, there are few persons suitable to appoint as the common candidate, but the priority goes to General Sarath Fonseka.

The main topic of the discussion to be held with General Fonseka would be the abolishing of executive presidency, he added.

MP Herath accused the government of attempting to cheat the people by reducing prices of essential food items just few months ahead of the upcoming two national polls.
