The JVP and the UPFA yesterday clashed at the budget
debate of the Western Provincial Council over allocation of funds to
procure a set of body building equipment for Temple Trees.
Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa, JVP member of the WPC, said that of Rs.11 million allocated for development and promotion of sports in the entire province, Rs. 180,000 had been spent on body building equipment. The JVP Central Committee member said that Temple Trees could easily afford to buy whatever it needed and there was absolutely no need for the WPC to supply sports equipment to the Temple Trees.
Jayatissa attacked both the government and the WPC administration amidst protests by UPFA members.
