UPFA victory ensures country’s prosperity - Minister Gunawardane

Urban and Sacred Areas Development Minister Dinesh Gunawardane yesterday appealed to the voters in Kegalle, Ratnapura, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa to vote for the UPFA so that the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government’s efforts to safeguard the Motherland and create a prosperous Sri Lanka could be ensured.

“Within two years the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government could reverse the terrorists’ advance, as conceded by everybody.”

The Minister in a statement yesterday said the East has been liberated and parts of the North are being retrieved from the terrorists.

The local and international reactionary forces are at work to cripple the efforts to build a country under one flag, he said.

The operation headed by the UNP represents these anti-patriotic interests and your vote ought to be used to overthrow such reactionary forces.

Priority should be given to vote the UPFA to power to enable the Government to successfully implement its self-sufficiency programmes through completion of electricity, highways, drinkable water supply, education, health development project in Kegalle, Anuradhapura, Ratnapura and Polonnaruwa districts and defeat of terrorism in the country.

“I appeal to the voters of NCP and Sabaragamuwa to vote the UPFA to power in the NCP and Sabaragamuwa Provincial Council elections in order to ensure the Mahinda Rajapaksa Government’s efforts to defeat the efforts to bifurcate the Motherland and build the country, he said.
