At the present four cabinet ministers, one deputy minister and 04 MPs have quit the government while many more cabinet ministers and deputy ministers are deeply criticising the government.
The cabinet ministers who quit the government so far are Champika Ranawaka, Maithripala Sirisena, Rajitha Senaratne and Duminda Dissanayake. In addition to former deputy minister M.K.D.S. Gunewardena, MPs Ven. Athuraliye Rathana Thera, Rajiv Wijesinhe, Wasantha Senananyake and Perumal Rajadurai also crossed over from the government.
Editor's note : Though we had originally reported that the MPs would quit the government on Monday, we now learn that they are to do so on Tuesday. The orignal article has been amended accordingly.
