Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) MP Ajith Perera accused the National People’s Power (NPP) government of falsely claiming credit for the recent reduction in electricity tariffs.
Speaking to reporters, Perera said the Public Utilities Commission of Sri Lanka (PUCSL) independently decided to lower tariffs, not the government. He added that Energy Minister had told Parliament such a reduction was not possible.
“Not a single JVP leader spoke in front of the PUCSL urging a reduction in electricity bills,” Perera said.
