Ministers are running like headless chickens and no one has any control over anything. It's pity. Isn't it?

Politicians don't care two hoots as they are busy holding on to their chairs and positions. Exporters and exports will be hard hit. If the rupee drops by 2% the buyers demand price reduction of 4% these days. And all the raw material for garments and all the packing material for tea has to be imported. So pathetic.

Roll your hands in front of the camera and fabricate lies to hoodwink the Sri Lankans. Resign, Resign, Resign. You both are not just capable of ruling the country.It has been proved without any doubt.

I thought the politicians are there to govern the country. But it looks the Sri Lankan politicians are there to save their a$$es ONLY.

All politicians, Sportspeople, businessmen and underworld figures have their money in US dollars. So they don't care whether rupee depreciates or not.
