Naleen Pathirana Questions Government Promises and Response to Rising Fuel Prices

“We saw the President making several promises at the meeting in Akuressa. We expected that fuel would be provided at the price at which it is unloaded at the port, as the President had said that relief would be provided in response to rising fuel prices.

After this government came to power, when the dollar went to around Rs. 2.5 million in another currency context, the people’s questions about the figure of five have still not received any answers. There has also been no discussion about the containers.

In the end, all we saw were the numerous promises made by the President. It has become a situation where he repeatedly criticises his opponents, brings his supporters together, energises them, and sends them away.”
