Former Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) MP Sunil Handunnetti has lodged a complaint with the Election Commission (EC) against the approval granted by the Cabinet to allow state ministers to use government vehicles for election campaigns.
The former MP told The Morning that as Parliament has been dissolved, state officials cannot be allowed to use their official vehicles with all the privileges for election campaigns.
"We complained against the Cabinet's decision because it’s violating the gazette issued on 6 March by the EC," the former MP said.
According to the gazette issued by the EC on 6 March, no state property can be used for electioneering until the results are announced from the date of the polls.
"As the state ministers no longer exist, how can a decision be taken to allow them to use state vehicles?" Handunnetti questioned.
