Although Anura Kumara Dissanayake was elected as the President of the country on 21 September, Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) member Nalin Bandara alleged today (4) that the true President is JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva.

Addressing the daily media briefing of the SJB, Bandara accused Dissanayake of being a nominal President, asserting that the real power lies with Tilvin Silva.

“Tilvin Silva has become both the President of the country and the JVP leader. Dissanayake dances to his tune,” he said.
