Venerable Anuradhapura Somarathana Thero, who served as a member of the Galenbindunuwewa Pradeshiya Sabha representing the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), has resigned from the party, citing concerns over the conduct of its Anuradhapura District Leader, former MP Thisakutti Arachchi.
Following his resignation, Ven. Somarathana Thero announced that he has joined Sarvajana Balaya and will assume duties as the party’s Mihintale Electoral Organizer.
He stated that certain remarks and actions by Thisakutti Arachchi concerning the people of Anuradhapura prompted his decision to leave the SLPP. The Thero further warned that if such conduct continues, the party risks becoming increasingly isolated within the Anuradhapura District.
