President Maithripala Sirisena‘s presence at the tea party after the budget and the quick exit of former President and Kurunegala District MP Mahinda Rajapaksa avoiding the reception were notable features in Parliament.

MP Wimal Weerawansa who also boycotted the reception was seen making a quick remark that he did not understand a single word of the budget speech made by Finance Minister Ravi Karunanayake. ‘ I did not understand a word but I will go through the documents and see whether I could learn something,” he told journalists who gathered around him to get his views.

Mr. Rajapaksa also made a similar comment but added that the budget was not an appealing one. “Meka Melo Rahak Nethi Ayawetak,’ he was heard saying.
However Opposition MPS Dinesh Gunawardene and Vasudeva Nananayakkara were seen at the reception.(YP & AS)

The best thing is Ravi does not know his arithmetic. Some are yet so ignorrnt that they yet are not aware that not knowing English is not a disqualification. They are yet living in the colonial era.

Mahinda came out quickly avoided the reception as no one cares and respect him now.

Horri Jimonis Saturday, 21 November 2015 10:57 PM

Weeray at least now go to a Tuition class and study English. Start from A.....

J Palitha Saturday, 21 November 2015 10:55 PM

Ravi smartly delivered the Budget speech in English in between. Weerawansa is allergic for English.

Kadupol Jothywansa Saturday, 21 November 2015 10:54 PM

Both rogues avoided the reception, nothing special its their 3rd class nature.

Truth is that Weerawansa does not understand. He will not be able to read either.

Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 21 November 2015 10:49 PM

Correct, Weerawansa has no knowledge about budget, moreover, he does not know English.

mohamed Saturday, 21 November 2015 10:36 PM

yes because he know he is not worth than MS

mithra Saturday, 21 November 2015 09:10 PM

No wonder both are not educated enough to understand a document like budget.

modaya Saturday, 21 November 2015 07:37 PM

One can sell fish

Abdul Saturday, 21 November 2015 02:10 PM

Yes, you need the basic knowledge in economics which most of the MPs do not have to understand the budget.

Populist budget with an eye on the election in March

Hon. Arnolis Saturday, 21 November 2015 12:28 PM

Dinesh and Vasu are inching towards the govt. They know that sitting in the limbo for another 5 years is of no use.
