Those who criticize my endeavour of donating buses to schools are politically incapable, Leader of Opposition Sajith Premadasa retaliated today.

Those who criticize the divine endeavour recently were Jathika Jana Balawegaya (JJB) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake and SJB MP Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka. 

MP Fonseka said recently that those who drive buses and other who torch buses are not suitable to rule the nation while Dissanayake calling Premadasa ‘Bus Man’.

“Those who criticize me are envious of me,” he added.

“Only Weda Bari (incapable) people criticize my endeavour to donate buses to the schools. This is not just merely donating buses to the schools, but an extension of Free Education introduced by Late C. W. W. Kangagara,” Premadasa said.

“I call upon those who criticize me to come and join me in carrying out this work ahead,” he said while sending an open invitation.

Also he told the school children to be prepared to study artificial intelligence, augmented reality and virtual reality in schools. “ A future SJB government will promote digital exports,” he said. (Yohan Perera)

    SF is a politically immature person.The party he initiated has no address. In the past too we have seen him altercations with his fellow MPs.No wonder Harin and Manusha were unhappy with his attitudes and left. JVP Anura we know he is good only for criticisms against his opponents. Can he rule a country we have to wait and see.If the schools have requested buses from Sajith,no problem delivering their request which others should not be jealous over that.

    Yes. SLPP called him"padman" at the Prez elections when Sajith proposed free sanitary pads to school children though in Scotland it is free for all young women. Now the SLPP govt. has realised and reduced the duties to minimum. All good ideas are ridiculed by JVP and SLPP. Schools spend 2 - 3 million monthly for bus hires financed by donations and parents, and which money can go to school upkeep like toilet and other facilities..

    Those who know Sajith can confirm that he is not fit enough to be a President and or Prime Minister. That doesn't mean Ranil or his preceeder Gotha is fit to run our country. Sadly today we don't have a good leader to run our country.

    If Sajith wants to impress people, he must do something meaningful. Driving a bus doesn't make him look like a suitable candidate to become the leader of this country.

    The question that needs to be asked is "Who has paid for these buses and where did the money come from"? Following on from that, if the buses are new where did the foreign currency come from?

    Good work of donating a bus to be appreciated by all, and not rediculed as done by SF

    Need of the hour is development of the country.Mr Fonseka everybody has their own style.Mr Anura please critise the party not the person for we all know voting for RW means increasing taxes.He can even be called a Taxman.

    If you look at the mutual criticism of Premadasa and Fonseka and against other "party friends", then you ask yourself, are there no other problems in Sri Lanka!? Apart from the fact that the public handling of such divergences is of no use to anyone (except for the political opponent!) and should be done internally, now is the time to pool the forces of the SJB and concentrate on replacing the current government! Above all, this means developing a political program that convinces the public how and that the serious problems of Sri Lanka can be solved! Despite all the differences in the concrete between Premadasa and Fonseka, unity in the goal of eliminating this government should always be the focus!

    What an important discussion this is. Once this comes to an end, I am sure many of our burning problems will also fade away alongwith.

    Nothing to criticise in offering a bus to school or driving it, it’s plus for his political career but if tall security, short labourer,jobs only who worked for his campaign, keep away from fan, that’s open up real character of SP think of him

    Good to know the names of the people who financed the buses. They will all be waiting in a queue for various favours once SJB comes into power. If we are expecting righteous rule from the SJB, this is the last thing that the people will want.
