[More parties for new Batti alliance By Kelum Bandara More Tamil parties including EROS and TELO expressed their willingness to join the alliance proposed by the EPDP to contest the polls to nine local bodies in the Batticaloa district. The EPDP, an ally of the ruling coalition, proposed this alliance after a meeting held with representatives of political parties planning to contest the election. The parties in this new alliance include the EPDP, TMVP (Pillayan Faction), PLOTE and EPRLF (Vartharajah faction). However, EPDP leader and Social Services and Social Welfare Minister Douglas Devananda told the Daily Mirror yesterday that EROS, TELO and TMVP (Karuna faction) also came forward to join forces in this exercise. Asked how the TELO could be a party to this alliance as it is already a part of the TNA which has opposed this mini poll, Mr. Devananda said some of its members had decided to be part of this alliance. He said for the time being, he would not reveal the names of these persons, adding that the alliance would make a decision whether it should accommodate these new parties or not. ] |
