(******, November 02, 2008, 4.15 PM) ****** learns that K.D. Lal Kantha, Anuradhapura district MP of People’s Liberation Front (JVP), is on the path of leaving the party.
All the responsibilities Lal Kantha had earlier have now being officially granted to former national list MP Wasantha Samarasinghe. Lal Kantha has been removed from the post of chairman of the nominal National Trade Union Center that is not a registered trade union.
It is reported that the trade union actions Lal Kantha said to call for were also cancelled in this background.
It is learnt that the party has commenced a disciplinary inquiry against Lal Kantha and he is blamed for the failure of the recent one day token strike.
He has expressed frustration over JVP politics at an internal meeting of the JVP held in Badulla few days back.
Lal Kantha has reportedly submitted resignation from all the positions he held in the party. When ***** enquired about this from him, Lal Kantha said in a light vein that reports were not correct.
Lal Kantha driving his vehicle himself avoiding the driver provided to him by the party and his other political links have been questioned by the party. JVP cadres working as drivers of MPs are known for being party spies.
