    Ranil, Can you please explain why you acted against holding Provincial elections, if you acted honestly

    The need of the hour is economic recovery and social stability. Could the "compass" people achieve both with their antediluvian and antiquated ideology?

    Anyone who believes anything positive will come out of a government hell bent on further restricting free speech is truly lost.

    This man was spending his time sleeping at home, no job and no future, now what a turnaround.

    Ram, The solution to the economic problem faced by the country is not holding the Local Govt. Election, but to stabilize the situation by returning to normalcy in the day to day life. This has been partially achieved. Imagine the LG election was held in April 2023, the 3-months pre-election period and period after election - say May to July nothing tangible would have / would happen. Once again the country would be at the receiving-end. The Opposition groups would have won handsomely based on the prevailing situation. The next step would have been demand for a General election, and another 6months would pass on agitating for it. Just imagine how could a country could achieve stability and peace. We do agree it is not the perfect combination we witness in the parliament now. My view is that let the present situation continue until a General Election or Presidential election is called.

    People, please understand that this man is only applying an icing on a crumbling cake. I hope our people will be wise and not be deceived by these tactics. We need a system change and we need to clean these corrupt roots.

    This is one kind of political dictatorship to use economic crisis to postpone elections. .He can even go far to postpone all other Elections too ..but his term ends soon in 2025 and then people have rights to decide .

    Sivalingam Thursday, 01 June 2023 01:34 AM

    Over 40 years of bullshit, SL people very easily deceived. Remember Dummika peniya ?

    Can anyone believe a word this man is saying or going to say???

    Ceylonese Thursday, 01 June 2023 07:21 AM

    He wants to boast about his achievements like twisting the arm of the IMF and world leaders like the Prime Minister of Japan to obtain loans which we cannot afford to pay back. in the near future.

    Sambo Thursday, 01 June 2023 08:28 AM

    This time his reforms will be targeted to the year 2060 when all are dead and gone.

    Jude Thursday, 01 June 2023 08:53 AM

    According to RANIL SL GONNA be developed nation in 2048. NOW RANIL knows very well he's NOT going to be around that time!! Wow another smart move by RANIL.

    Man Thursday, 01 June 2023 10:38 AM

    @warren; Do you know his economic plan? Is it a new way of deceiving the public by getting loans without paying attention to collapsing garment business that brings forex? As nothing as such, he must get a mandate for selling government assets, at least by conducting the overdue local government election without pressurizing the commissions which needed to be independent.

    What special statement when half the population are starving?
