The Sri Lanka Freedom Party failed to make a final decision last night on whether it would vote against the budget at the third reading on Friday (05). 

The SLFP seniors met under the auspices of President Maithripala Sirisena last night to decide the party's course of action on the budget. 

The meeting, however, ended without a final conclusion. 

SLFP sources added that the party would make a final decision on the budget on April 04, a day before the final vote. 

SLFP has come under severe pressure from the SLPP to vote against the budget at the third reading. Informed political sources said the success of the ongoing discussions between the SLFP and the SLPP on forming a common alliance would depend on the SLFP's decision on the budget.
