Attempt to purchase a political party?
Meanwhile, it is also reported that Mr. Allirajah had attempted to purchase the Arunalu People’s Alliance, which is registered with the Elections Secretariat as a recognised political party and bears the sign of a water tap.
Upon contacting the leader of the Arunalu People’s Alliance – Dr. K.R. Krishan, he said that discussions were held with Mr. Allirajah for collaborations.
He also said that former minister – Dayasiri Jayasekera had also been approached to form an alliance while discussions with several leftist parties were also held.
However, it is reported that the political aspirations of Mr. Allirajah have faced a temporary setback due to pressures by a powerful political figure in the government.
Meanwhile, it is said that Mr. Allirajah’s close aide, actress and producer – Janaki Wijeratne had recently visited the Asgiriya Maha Viharaya.
