Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa insisted that he was not prepared to govern the country with the partnership of the UNP.

Speaking at an event in Hambantota, he also said that he is steadfastly keeping with the SLFP founder SWRD Bandaranaike's policies.

Meanwhile, he also criticised Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, insisting that he was contradicting his words by his action.

Although he says that all must work together, he is attacking all who do not agree with him, Rajapaksa said referring to the Prime Minister.
