The group of 16 which had announced that it intends to meet with Former Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa who is pegged to be a possible candidate for the 2020 Presidential election have been left in a lurch after he claimed he had received no such request for a meeting.
“It is quite common for various professionals, business people, academics and politicians to meet me for discussions, but so far there is no formal request for a meeting with the 16 member group,” Rajapaksa had said.
Since leaving the government the 16 group have almost become political orphans with no party being willing to align with them.
