    Awurudu around, the KOHA is silence and no naketh announced on TV channels as before. What happened. It seems their shouting for 76 years has not brought any change and are protesting.

    Prices are down and so is the cost of living! Saturday, 06 April 2024 08:24 AM

    The price tags in photos is an indication on how the cost of living has crashed so startlingly during the short tenure of Ranil's reign. Was there any bumper harvest during this short period? Is it the sacrifice of public? or the generosity of traders to reduce prices? or Have the ex-rulers lost their grip on the monopoly of Dambulla black marketers?

    I wish all my fellow country men a Happy Avurudu. Hope people would elect a GOOD LEADER in this AVURUDU and expect them to do a deep analysis before marking the ballot paper. NO PLACE FOR NEPOTISM, the family rule should come to an END.

    No money to buy these. As much as possible, grow your own veggies at your home if possible.

    See how these men are carrying sacs of heavy vegetables. Whereas the white colour workers and the undergraduates are on the roads shouting and disturbing the peace. You striking bigots go and carry the heavy sacs to earn a living. You strikers and protestors can we see you on the road during the 14 th April new year please.

    Sri Lankan people have Conscience, ‘SHOULD THANK and be EVER GRATEFUL’, to Ranil, Nandalal (CBSL) and the Treasury Secretary for their ‘Continuous, Conscientious and Unwavering Contribution’, making this Fast Economic Recovery, without any Reservation whatsoever!!?? "Weda Bari RW”, has demonstrated “what hard work and Diligence”, makes so-called “BAD System produce, GOOD results"!!?? ‘HE IS THE MAN OF THE HOUR’ – Patriotic Saviour, None Else!! What difference "ALUTH AVURUDHU 2023", to NOW - "ALUTH AVURUDHU 2024"!!! He has done it before in 2002!!?? The ungrateful people in Power (“PARIWASA AANDUWA 2004” - you know WHO?) and "Misled Voters" SENT HIM unceremoniously packing – flimsy Grounds – "LOOT" country, Consequential Bankruptcy, Deprivation, Starvation!? Hopefully People (Voters) have learnt GOOD Lesson!!?? Grateful to RW's everlasting will, ‘Turn the Country Around’!!?? Hopefully, wouldn't repeat same mistake – PE 2024 - Ranil to Power!!????

    If people vote for subversives(who have no policy but just stirring up strikes/protests and loose talk at ‘women’s conventions’ ), next avurudhu will be a disaster! Just vote and see stars for yourself, our foolish people need to learn a good lesson.

    For all those u tubers and social media dons who went shopping for subversives! And those boosting the subversives FB from overseas! You can buy carrots less than 200/- (not 2300/-) and shove it, no need to wear it as a necklace!
