Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe has called on the current government, led by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake, to put forward its economic policy, emphasizing the need for a solution to the ongoing economic crisis. Wickremesinghe made these remarks at a public meeting organized by the New Democratic Front in Maradana for the upcoming general election.
Addressing the crowd, Wickremesinghe criticized the government’s lack of experience, holding up an “L-board” and describing the administration as an “L-board government,” implying it is akin to a novice driver’s designation. He remarked that inexperience at all levels of leadership has contributed to the nation’s growing economic challenges, making them increasingly difficult to resolve.
