No broken promises; Estate workers will get Rs.1000 daily wage under a UNP Govt: Ravi

Former Finance Minister and the Deputy Leader of the United National Party (UNP) Ravi Karaunanayake assured that under a UNP government, they would ensure that the Rs. 1000 daily wage for estate workers will be implemented.

Addressing a propaganda campaign to promote the UNP candidates in Hatton on Wednesday (22), he said that the UNP is a party that only promises what can be delivered and does not promise the unrealistic and impossible.

“Those leaders who are promising to grant every family Rs. 20,000 had brought 4,500 persons from Hambantota to Colombo promising them employment and paid them salaries without giving them permanent jobs.Today all of them have no jobs and no income and they are at home. The UNP is a party which strives to unite everyone and there is no other party in Sri Lanka which possesses these qualities. Many of the parties are based on ethnicity and religious lines. Under the UNP regime we had established a strong economy which was beneficial to the people, but over the past eight months the economy has collapsed,” Karunanayake added.
