He was addressing the election rally at Makandura, Matara to canvass votes for the JVP candidates contesting the Matara district at the forthcoming Provincial Council elections. The UNP's 'Regain Sri Lanka' programme was a farce to subjugate Sri Lankan economy to imperialist powers and the much boasted 4.5 billion dollar aid programme was intended to sell piece meal profit-making Government ventures to the private sector, he said. He urged the people not to be fooled by the ruse of dragging the country back to colonial status. |
