NPP Presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake made a fresh challenge to the President wickremesinghe for a face-to-face debate on the economic policies.
Speaking at a rally in Ambalantota, he said the debate could be arranged on a popular television channel and any matter regarding the economic policies of the two parties could be debated.
"President Wickremesinghe keeps on posing questions to me on the stage. So, I challenged him for an open debate. Then, he said he would come with the IMF."
Anura Kumara said the Opposition camp is perturbed about the NPP's victory and said they have started to spread various false news to mislead the people.
"They are now saying the NPP government will change the national flag. We will not change the national flag but only the corrupt and fraudulent politics."
The Opposition is also saying that there will be unrest and violence after the NPP's victory. We want a peaceful election. This election is a definite win for us. Only the losing parties wants unrest, clashes and instability in society.
We request the security forces to maintain law and order in the country before, after and on the election day," Anura Kumara said.
He said some people claim that the economy will collapse after the NPP comes to power and said the economy is already collapsed, adding that the NPP will take over the country to revive the economy which collapsed due to failed policies for the last 76 years.
