“We are working with an aim, with a plan, and we are reaching those targets gradually. We have no right to mess up the people’s mandate. Our aim is to create a new society, and we will do it,” he said this weekend.

Silva dismissed concerns that Sri Lanka could slip back into crisis, insisting that the administration was formed specifically to guide the country towards long-term structural change.

“Sri Lanka is not heading into another crisis or economic pitfall. This Government was created to transform society deeply and to continue this administration for five years,” he said.

He argued that winning elections and forming a Government are not, by themselves, synonymous with national transformation. “Taking power, running a Government, and transforming society are three different things. We are doing that,” he added.
