TNA to become main Opposition?
With fresh controversies over the post of the Opposition Leader in Parliament, some are speculating the Tamil National Alliance which has majority of opposition members as a single party would become the main Opposition.
Accordingly, its Leader R. Sampanthan is tipped to be the Opposition Leader as even the constituents of the United People’s Freedom alliance (UPFA) vehemently opposing the continuity of Nimal Sirpala de Silva in the post.
They say that de Silva and the SLFP too should occupy government benches as the party has become a member of a national government.
Meanwhile, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya vouched that they will not allow a Tamil to head the Opposition.
However, the TNA remain silent on the matter so far.
