PKD, Pacha Kumara no action Pacha talking only. Biggest corruptors are advising Pacha Kumara example Usup and Hulangona. Nandalal was the deputy of Arjuna Mahendran during the bond scam.

No action, you are kidding ,just look at the que at the walikada. Can you imagine this will happen under Peyano. This government has done enough during the short period of time.

Zarook, buddies of Tissa, Yohan, James and the likes Wednesday, 28 May 2025 04:21 PM

Another stooge ranting on while sitting on his brains, wonder if his palms are both oiled, if so by whom?. Zarook, who the hell are you to tell the President who he needs to pick as advisors, mind your own business and go ask your wiped out leader, why he was rejected by the majority!!. Wait until action is taken, we the people are in no hurry, the longer the corrupt scum have to stress and wonder when KARMA is coming to get them the better it is, so their BP can rise up and down!!.

Truth Hurts. Wednesday, 28 May 2025 04:24 PM

Truth, you and the other supporters who cannot accept the fact that your leader was wiped out by the majority, man up and realize your party is as dead as a door nob and will have to pump in new, young honest blood to be ever considered as country governing material.

Oh you and your red comrades sure need social progress!

Comrade. It would have been more meaningful if specific action taken towards social progress is listed in details. As of now there are no specific action plan time line or even indication of starting any such activity. The two visible initiatives like "Clean Sri Lanka" and Monkey survey are non starters. At least if the ardent supporters can elaborate without just putting thumbs down would be helpful to not so gullible public

Their only 'social progress' is institutionalizing lying.

Isn't it far better than Institutionalising thuggery, looting and superstition?

Devaka, definitely not one of the majority who voted ANURA/NNP. Wednesday, 28 May 2025 04:40 PM

Devaka, you are living in a world of your own. I guess you too in a self induced coma when the rajapaske's ran the country to the ground and handed over a bankrupt country to their buddy RW who for some reason or another (we could think of quite a few) did a grand act on strings pulled and danced to the beat of their drums, no investigation was made as to how and who were those directly and indirectly responsible for the country going bankrupt, while we later came to be aware of many nests that were feathered, while people like you were living in self inflected comas.

STAY THE COURSE OR GO BACK TO SUFFERING AND STRUGGLING LIKE NO OTHER TIME IN OUR HISTORY. Wednesday, 28 May 2025 04:28 PM

All hypocrites commentators here. He has posted in X, not in any news paper, X has a limitation. You have to understand in any environment a new change is always face challenges , and friction by the effected party. Sri Lanka is going through a storm, which is normal during the process. The government is not frying papad here, it is implementing changes to the corrupted, lethargic, looted, legacy processes and frameworks. Guys who were enjoying the loopholes are definitely going to be against it, and wobbling in heat. We Sri Lankans with AKD and will give him time. People like SP the putha no and his cronies, Baby the hora and cronies will try to be heroes by raising their voices for no reason, but snake dances.

AKD walks the talk. That is the whole truth. Come any important election, he will get the overwhelming majority of votes.

Mohomod Akthar Wednesday, 28 May 2025 03:28 PM

Is there any inside or outside force baring the progress like it was during Wadamarachchi operation?

0 0

Dr Tissa Fernando Wednesday, 28 May 2025 03:50 PM

Yes of course, a lot of progress has been made in increasing fatal accidents, shootings, robberies, student ragging leafing to suicides, investors leaving or abandoning projects, dengue and chickengunya, continous increase in prices of essential items, shortage of rice, coconut and salt, revival of LTTE activity, revival of extremists , plus plus. Excellent progres , keep it up. Oh another important one , creating and propagating big lies too.

I totally agree with myself!

It is a progressive NPP Wednesday, 28 May 2025 03:55 PM

Social progress: Claiming to have doctorate degrees when one does not have, not busting the rice mafia at a stroke of a pen, not reducing the price of fuel by Rs 150, releasing 323 red category containers without inspection, not reducing the VAT of essential goods, not bringing down the looted money horded in Uganda, making "lying" a democratic right, referring the war heroes as "soldiers", not reducing the electricity tariffs by 30%, etc. etc. And claiming that the erosion of the vote base by 2.5 million is a victory!!!

Social “progress”? Are you having a laugh, Mr President? Please define what you call social progress. This country is going from bad to worse to full-on delusional!

Kapila Senaratne Wednesday, 28 May 2025 06:46 PM

Best wishes AKD. We are with you Sir! Until 2060

Dr Tissa Fernando Wednesday, 28 May 2025 09:35 PM

Yes, by 2060 , you will be living off a boat in the sea off southern coast as the extremists would have captured the country.

Social progress aka rice, coconuts, salt shortages! This reminds me of the notorious Sirimavo socialist years of 1970-77 where the government propaganda machine was in full swing. That government was wiped out after being reduced to a mere 8 member minority!
