Hirunika Premachandra says that she will not gain anything by either creating an opposition party or by joining a collapsing opposition.

She expressed this view at a UPFA rally in Hingurakgoda on Wednesday.

’’This is the first time I am speaking on a political platform and speaking on behalf of the SLFP and the alliance. People have identified me as someone against the government. There is no such thing.’’ 

’’I come from a leftist family. It is for this party that my father dedicated his life. I will not leave
this party. I will always be loyal to this party. Everyone identified me only after the death of
my father because I always raised my voice demanding justice.’’ 

’’Even this morning I heard a rumours that I am going to create a joint opposition. No, I have no such requirement to create a joint opposition. A few months ago I commenced my political activities as a representative of the Sri Lanka Mahajana Party.’’ 

’’It is another party in this alliance. I have no plans of either creating an opposition party or joining the opposition. There is no point in joining a collapsing opposition. That is the truth,’’ stated Hirunika Premachandra
