Watawala, September 18, 2024 – As the 2024 presidential election approaches, Deputy Leader of the Tamil Progressive Alliance (TPA), Mr. Palani Digambaram, has expressed confidence that auspicious times will come for the plantation workers of Sri Lanka once Sajith Premadasa is elected as the ninth executive president.
