Mustapha threatened to quit the government at a Press conference held yesterday (December 12).

Asked for their reaction to the threats made by Mustapha, a BBS spokesman told SrilankaMirror they had no comment to make.

Although they have not made their stance clear on whether they will support President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the BBS has publicly declared they will not fall for what they called "conspiracies" of Common Opposition Candidate Maithripala Sirisena.
