“Children could not have three meals a day during economic crisis”

During the economic crisis, many women struggled to support their families, and children were deprived of three meals a day. This is why I believe it is important to support President Ranil Wickremesinghe who led the country out of that crisis, Minister Jeevan Thondaman said.

He was addressing the ‘Puluwan Sri Lanka’ victory rally held at Vavuniya Young Star Stadium yesterday.

“This Presidential Election is a pivotal moment that will determine the future of Sri Lanka. It is important to acknowledge that, historically, the leaders of our country have spent beyond our means, leading to the economic crisis we recently experienced,” the Minister said.

“It should also be noted that, in our elections, people tend to vote based on emotions rather than principles. We often do not consider the financial policies or the agendas of the Presidential candidates, nor do we think about the consequences of their future actions.

“Although some may not want to hear this harsh truth, it is essential to be honest. It is easy to please the people by telling a comforting lie, but that does not serve us well. During the last economic crisis, many women struggled to support their families, and children were deprived of three meals a day. This is why I believe it is important to support President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who led the country out of that crisis.

“I am confident that Ranil Wickremesinghe, who has already provided various benefits to the people of Kandy, such as resolving land rights and salary issues, will also address other pressing issues, including the land rights of the people of Vavuniya.

“Remember, in this election, you are voting for the future of your children, not just for a political party,” Minister Thondaman said.
