TNA MP Seenithamby Yogeswaran says the Sri Lankan government has failed to support the party and let it down, despite the TNA's indirect support.
"There is a change in government but we have not changed the people. It is the same people in a new government. That is the difference between the former and present government," the Batticaloa MP said at an event in Kalkuda, Ceylon Today reported.
"The TNA still believes in this government. We are indirectly supporting this government; however it has not given any support to us. We expected to secure the Chief Minister post in the East, yet the President or Prime Minister did not fulfil our expectations. We also expected that the Tamil political prisoners will be released on a general pardon, but the government did to take such action. It also assured our leader that the prisoners shall be released and our leadership trusted it words but we were betrayed," he further said.
