Vote for stability on Saturday to safeguard hard-earned achievements – President

IMF’s support is for the government’s ongoing programme

Sajith and Anura offer only empty promises, with no clear plan

President Ranil Wickremesinghe urged voters to support the gas cylinder initiative on September 21 to safeguard the country’s hard-earned progress. He emphasised that the International Monetary Fund’s support is for the current government’s programme, and criticized Sajith Premadasa and Anura Kumara Dissanayake for making empty promises without a concrete plan for advancing the country.

President Wickremesinghe made these remarks during the “Ranil Can” (Ranil ta Puluwan) victory rally in Wellawaya yesterday (16). The rally, which drew a large crowd, was organized to reaffirm support for President Wickremesinghe in the upcoming presidential election.

In his address, President Wickremesinghe further elaborated on his vision and plans for the nation.

“As Hambantota’s industries expand, the Wellawaya area will also benefit from the creation of an investment zone. Additionally, Monaragala is undergoing a comprehensive development program. What we need now is a mandate to advance these initiatives.

For the past four years, many young people have struggled to find employment. Next year, we plan to create 100,000 self-employment opportunities across both government and private sectors. Furthermore, we aim to provide funding for 50,000 individuals to receive training at their chosen institutions.

To achieve these goals, we must complete our journey across the vine bridge. We are close to the finish line, but we still have a little way to go. The vine bridge is currently facing some challenges, but with your support on September 21, we can successfully complete this critical phase.

Currently, two candidates, Sajith and Anura, are competing for your support, but neither has a viable plan for the country’s future. They can make promises, but they lack the capability to deliver. We need to continue our progress with IMF support, which is crucial for the government’s ongoing programme. I had agreed to a debate with former Agriculture Minister Anura Kumara, but I am still waiting for an invitation. The delay indicates a lack of substantive plans on their part.

Sajith, meanwhile, promises free things without a concrete plan. We must defend our hard-earned achievements and continue our progress. I urge everyone to vote for the gas cylinder on September 21 to secure our victory and advance our development agenda.
