Leader of the National Union of Workers and Minister of Hill Country New Villages, Infrastructure, and Community Development Palani Digambaram is to agitate over the demands for the estate sector workers and is to give an ultimatum to New Democratic Front (NDF) presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa on the matter.
Digambaram is expected to meet NDF presidential candidate Premadasa and demand a pledge to increase the wages of the plantation sector workers and failing which the former is to resign from his portfolio.
“Digambaram will demand the wages of the estate workers be increased substantially. If Premadasa doesn’t agree to do so, he will resign from his ministerial portfolio,” party sources have said.
Sources have said this would be a condition for Digambaram and his party to extend support to Premadasa’s candidacy.
In the event an agreement is not reached between Digambaram and Premadasa, the latter will resign from portfolio and rethink whom to support at the upcoming presidential election.
According to party sources, Digambaram and his party have been promising a wage increase to the poor people of the estate sector but it never materialises. Therefore, the party is to support the candidate who pledges to address the estate sector workers’ demands.
Further, the monetray allegations effected by the people will not necessitate in the action of the front that will tell them get things realised as well as how they should consur their decision. We all know how well they have aligned themselves to get the necessary people into so much so that they will only telecast the necessary evil that will emnate from their houses.
