New Democratic Front (NDF) Presidential candidate Sajith Premadasa has already created awareness on his programme of action, policies and targets among the people making use of his political experience and widespread socio political vision at mass rallies held across the island, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe noted.
The Premier said that several UNP Ministers and MPs have brought to his notice on the miserable performance of SLPP candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa who employs the use of teleprompters to address all his campaign rallies.
while Sajith Premadasa is providing practical solutions to the problems in the country, Gotabaya is making unrealistic economic proposals while uttering the same mantra of ensuring security in the country.
The will of the people should never be taken for granted, and this election may well swing either way – but it is important to consider the intentions of Gotabaya Rajapaksa who is hell-bent on protecting the Rajapaksa family from charges of corruption, fraud and murders.
“What promise do you give to the people via your manifesto that the corruption over thrown in 2015 will not return with you? How are we to believe when you are surrounded by the same crooks?," a civil society activist observed.
Gotabaya should answer this question clearly without going down the 'mulberry bush' chanting the slogan of national security.
Enough is enough, now he should get up from slumber after starting his run up to presidency early to see his main contender already far ahead of him in the final lap.
Sajith Premadasa has clearly indicated his plan of making the business community as stake holders of national security providing necessary facilities and protection.
He has already unveiled the women’s charter of protecting women’s rights while protecting their dignity.
He has clearly explained his policy on youth which is aimed at giving the due place for suitable persons and creating more employment opportunities.
Furthermore, Gotabaya is yet to answer the challenge made by Sajith Premadasa with regards to a public debate between the two candidates.
Accordingly, the people of this country have clearly understood the vast differences of attitudes and policies between presidential front runners Sajith and Gotabaya.
