Opposition disunity and rabble rousers

After one full year out of power, sections of the parliamentary opposition in our country are attempting to join hands to oppose the year old National People’s Power (NPP) government.

- 

Today, November 21, a number of these political parties have called for a joint rally demanding that government fulfils the plethora of election promises it made in the run-up to the November 2024 general election.

Let’s face it; the government has failed to implement most of its election promises.

It promised to redraft the agreement signed by past president Ranil Wickremasinghe’s regime with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). It has failed to lower the cost of living by any considerable level to help the poorer sections of this country. Additionally, the government promised in the budget to allocate large sum of money to increase the wages of Up Country Tamil estate population.

That again is just another promise until those poor workers receive the cash into their hands.
