Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake said today he was ready to take part in a debate on Tuesday over the economic policies adopted by the previous regime even with a representative of former president Mahinda Rajapaksa if he was reluctant to participate in the debate.

He challenged the former president who was also the former finance minister for a debate on the economic crisis in response to a challenge by UPFA MP Bandula Gunawardena.

“Mr. Gunawardena says my challenge to former president is similar to a cat challenging a lion. If that is the case, why is the lion so afraid of the cat,” the minister asked and said he was ready for a debate on Tuesday with anyone sent by Mr. Rajapaksa including Mr.Gunawardena. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

    Sorry to see my former Economic Master loosing out. .

    Bandula is preparing some urutang bowling. Look at his fingers.

    Not a good idea for Ravi, Bandula is well versed and polished debater on Economic matters. Ravi may have had a good chance with the former strong man MR but not with Bandula. It is not a good match at all what a waste of our time on a media circus.

    You know nothing about Bandula. He did not learn from economics from the street merchants.

    Regit Silva Friday, 19 June 2015 08:57 PM

    Go Ravi, show them what you can do. These kanji buggers can only talk. Talk is cheap. Action speaks louder than words.

    Manel Friday, 19 June 2015 09:34 PM

    Even if Mahinda comes Bandula will never come.

    I propose to stop these bullshits,and unite to build the country. If not please stay away from politics.

    Mason Saturday, 20 June 2015 01:20 PM

    Wish you luck. Come back victorious Ravi.

    Sammy Monday, 22 June 2015 09:14 AM

    That is because Bandula knows at least a little bit of economics.
