Srikantha is an attorney-at-law.[2][3] He is a member of Tamil Eelam Liberation Organization (TELO) and entered politics in the mid 1980s.[4]

Srikantha was one of the ENDLF/EPRLF/TELO/TULF alliance's candidates in Jaffna District at the 1989 parliamentary election but failed to get elected after coming eighth amongst the alliance candidates.[5][6]

On 20 October 2001 the All Ceylon Tamil Congress, Eelam People's Revolutionary Liberation Front, TELO and Tamil United Liberation Front formed the Tamil National Alliance (TNA).[7][8] Srikantha was one of the TNA's candidates in Trincomalee District at the 2001 parliamentary election but failed to get re-elected.[9][10] He was one of the TNA's candidates in Jaffna District at the 2004 parliamentary election but again failed to get re-elected, coming ninth amongst the TNA candidates.[11] However, he entered Parliament in 2006 following the assassination of Nadarajah Raviraj on 10 November 2006.[12]

In 2010 Srikantha left TELO and TNA.
