Addressing the general election rally held at Nawalapitiya NPP presidential candidate Anura Kumara Dissanayake emphasized that for the first time, a government will be formed to make the country prosperous and enrich the people’s lives.

Anura Dissanayake said, “After the 2019 elections, we suffered a severe setback. However, we strongly believe that people subjected to various deceptions will understand the truth and gather around the NPP. 

We have been engaged in planned politics for the past two or three years. However, our opposition parties are involved in the same old politics. They thought after engaging in stealing, wasting public wealth, breaking laws, violating constitutions, throwing away court orders, and ruling the country in an authoritarian way, they could take power as usual by dividing the people, scaring them and making various kinds of false promises during the elections.

 We went all over the country and mobilized and organized the people and organized them. The NPP launched an election campaign that our enemies could not even imagine.

We held a number of meetings in the Kandy district. Our comrades went to many villages to discuss and carry out awareness programmes. Our opposition parties could not imagine this rise and awakening of the people that occurred due to the work carried out by the NPP. Now, all our enemies could do is spread slanders and false information and launch conspiracies against us. But it is now obvious that neither Sajith Premadasa nor Ranil Wickramasinghe can do anything to prevent our forward march. Our victory on the 21st is a significant turning point in Sri Lankan politics. It is a fulfilment of the hope of the citizens of our country for many decades. The people of this country participated in elections for a long time, but they failed to build a government that could fulfil their expectations and goals.

Leaders are defeated and brought back. Governments are defeated and brought back. Finally, the people got tired as there was no favourable result. All their expectations were dashed. The country went bankrupt. There was a situation where the people could not make ends meet. 

Youths started leaving the country. Hospitals ran out of medicine. Education collapsed. A state has been created where drugs and crime spread throughout the country. This destruction started to be drawn like a picture in front of the eyes of the people,. The people were waiting to be saved from this disaster. On this 21st, the day will dawn to bring victory to those expectations. 

A new government in our country has to fulfil two main tasks. Several factors led to the collapse of our country. One is the corrupt political culture of our country. The second is the destructive economic policy that has been followed in the country.
To build this country, we must first change this ugly political culture.
