JVP: People are realising two groups that ruled country have failed them
No one in the government is equal to the task of managing the economic crisis, former JVP parliamentarian Sunil Handunetti says.
The government had tacitly admitted that it could not solve the burning problems affecting the public, Handunnetti said yesterday. “The dollar shortage has affected many businesses. Importers can’t bring anything in and most of our domestic production depends on imports. There is a crisis in the energy and agricultural sectors.
Handunetti said that no one in the government took responsibility for the sorry state of affairs.
“The State Minister of Consumer Affairs refuses to take responsibility for shortages of essentials. He doesn’t accept that weakening of the CAA has led to the current gas crisis. The Minister of Agriculture refuses to admit that there is a crisis in agriculture.
The only silver lining is that most people were wising up to the fact that the two parties that governed the country had failed them, the ex-MP said.
“People now admit that this is the reality and they want a solution. They know that someone who has a real desire to address the issues has to be elected. It is obvious that the JVP can save the nation because we have enough resources to take the country out of this mess. The country only needs to be ruled by a political party capable of making it better for everyone to live in. We urge the people not to hold on to the parties they have been voting for traditionally.

1. People have realised you were a failed party that resulted in the armed insurrection your party led in 1970 that brought death to so many naïve youths.
2. You were nothing more than a fringe party, crying foul and promising moon to the silly public since you do not have the burden of running a country and facing real issues,
3. Public has nothing but themselves to blame for giving power to a different party since they cannot wait long enough for either of party to finish what they have started. Donkey voters in SL expect a party can develop the country which is a cesspit, to a haven within 5 years. Otherwise they dump everything partly done by the party in power and appoint the other side to re-start from the beginning. They have done this since 1948 and still not intelligent enough to learn it achieve nothing but wasting own money and getting into deeper debt.
4. The only way SL can be developed is by through a military government or some brutal dictatorial regime that has an honest intension to develop the country (god knows if it ever exists) which is capable of imposing discipline and getting people to work and drastically reducing the government employee list and developing the business culture.
5. People in SL can now think where the SL would have been economically now had they not dump Rajapaksha at the next election and gave power to the Sirisena coalition that did nothing and could not do anything but to store paddy at Mattala airport.
What a foolish and rude man you are ! Now even farmers living in rural areas never raise issues like this .

Comrade Sunil Handunetti, while saluting MS. Indra for her comments, please remember, your party JVP supported and provided ‘MUkku’ to consecutive governments in Sri Lanka (Including Yaha Palanaya). You too are responsible for the present state of Sri Lanka. Now Brother Sunil Handunetti you are fishing in muddy waters!!!
