Independent presidential candidate President Ranil Wickremesinghe has warned that the economy will collapse again if taxes are reduced according to the economic policies proposed by opposition political parties. He made these remarks while addressing a public rally in Yapahu, as part of his “Puluwan Sri Lanka” series, where he is campaigning as an independent candidate in the upcoming presidential election.
During his speech, Wickremesinghe also mentioned Anura Kumara, recalling the time when Kumara served as the Minister of Agriculture under Mahinda Rajapaksa’s government. Wickremesinghe humorously questioned the assembly, asking, “Agriculture developed well at that time, didn’t it?” The crowd responded with laughter, to which Wickremesinghe remarked, “What are you laughing at,” before leaving the stage.
