Susil Premajayantha, who was recently removed from the post of Minister of State, says that when he speaks the truth on behalf of the people, he does not regret losing his ministry post.
He also said that if those who point out the wrong policies and decisions of the government are punished without question, the people will give the verdict for such things.
The response by the former State Minister to a question raised by a journalist while he visited the Delkanda Fair to purchase vegetables, received heat from many parties.
The former minister said that the cause of all crises such as teacher problems, fertilizer, gas, fertilizer ships and rice was that the government was going in the wrong direction. He also said that the poor people of the country were affected by all these.

There are hundreds of thousands of educated people in the country. Susil Premjayantha is one such person. We agree he is an experienced politician but there are experienced politicians other than him too. However what matters to the electorate is mainly how much he can be an important team member of the political force he is party to.
The Government has restricted the number of minsters to 30 and the number of State Ministers to 40. Not every parliamentarian can be a Cabinet Minister. What is important is in the first place is trustworthyness and the ability to be an all weather team member. All his years of experience has not educated Susil Premajayantha to be one. He has been swithched sides like a weatherwane.
No sooner he is jettioned from Pohottuwa quite unceremoniously, he is seen galavanting with Choura Ragina yesterday adding credence to an idiot saying that SLFP is a Bandaranike Family Property! This shows clearly that the President’s decision is not only right but one that was long overdue!
The best we can ask from Susil Premjayanth is what would he do if the shoe was on the other foot? What would he do if he was the President?
