distribution of money among the party organizers to attract crowds to Kirillapona on the May Day for the joint opposition May Day rally.He had said that the former president is aware that by distributing money presidential election could not be won. During the presidential election campaign the then minister Basil Rajapaksa had distributed money amounting to rupees one lakh among the SLFP organizers to win votes.
