Is this guy being groomed as the Economics person in a future UNP Govt?
The UNP’s economic strategy is primarily focussed on keeping the Mudalalis well fed. The strategy has never addressed the needs of common massess. All development is confined to Colombo and a little bit to Kandy.
HE Mahinda Rajapaksa’s economic strategy focusses on the rural sector where a majority of Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of our emerald isle live.
Come to think of it, the GSP paved the way for sweatshops in the suburbs where our village lassess were herded into factories producing designer underwear to protect the fat bottoms of Eurpoean women. This is not what we want to be doing and HE Mahinda Rajapaksa has realised this and hence is not worried by the threat of withdrawal of the GSP.
The way HE Mahinda Rajapaks is driving social and economic reform, the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of our land will be in paradise before the end of this decade. Land reform is an essential element of social and economic reform and the swathe of cultivable land in the North and East should be returned to its rightful owners, the Sinhala Buddhist Citizens of our Sinhala Buddhist Republic of Sri Lanka.
