Uma Oya Project should be terminated forthwith-Samantha Vidyaratne

The excerpts of the interview: MR’s rule implemented it with disregard to environmental concerns Current rule proceeded with bulk of its work President cannot simply wipe off his hands attributing the crisis to the former rul It is important to stop the project right now before further damage is done Over 7000 houses have been damaged now More than 3000 wells and natural water springs have dried up JVP undergoes changes in political complexion, but no compromise on its policies JVP is not there to ensure victory for MR or MS It has to work for socialism as ultimate goal JVP is committed to its founding principles Q Now, 78 percent of the work associated with the Uma Oya Project has been completed.
The Uma Oya project isn’t an option for them.
They remain useful even though the project is cancelled.
Then, if former President Mahinda Rajapaksa is responsible for 16 percent of the work, President Sirisena should be held responsible for 62 percent of work.
Alongside, there is an allegation that JVP is giving covert support to this government.
The JVP hasn’t been created to ensure victory either for Mahinda or Maithri.
We wanted to ensure his defeat due to his corrupt, antidemocratic rule coupled with nepotism and family rule.
We asked people to defeat Mahinda.
The conduct of Mahinda Rajapaksa only created the political ground ideal for Maithri to become President.
There are allegations about the present JVP leaders having underhand deals with the capitalist rulers as you call.
