Until the Yahapalana Government can pay back all the loans taken by Rajapakse which includes the US$3 billion (only the amount identified up to date) bribe taken by Rajapakse is paid back, any budget will be a burden to the people. Rather than making statements against the Government, Dinesh Gunewardena should ask Mahinda Rajapakse to bring back the money into Government coffers.

Dinesh being veteran in the paliament your criticism is baseless. At least help the country to be free from debt.

Again and again, this fellow can makes statements similar to what the 3-wheel drivers talk, without logic just personal agenda only.
