UPFA Parliamentarian Dr. Rajiva Wijesinha told Asian Mirror that he handed over his official vehicle immediately after receiving a message from the Presidential Secreteriat.

Dr. Wijesinha received this message while taking part in the press conference  attended by SLFP General Secretary Maithripala Sirisena, Former President Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga and several other senior Parliamentarians of the ruling party.

"I have no reason to keep the vehicle. Therefore I immediately sent it back to the Presidential Secreteriat", the Parliamentarian told Asian Mirror on Friday (21) night . He also stated that he decided to align himself with Maithripala Sirisena on principled grounds.  

Wijesinha is a national list Parliamentarian of the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA).

A day before his decision, he told Asian Mirror he was utterly dissatisfied with the present state of affairs in the country.
