It is special that all the MPs and state ministers who stayed around Colombo that day came here.
The state ministers were the first to speak.
We told the president several times to give us a secretary, but he didn’t listen. We want people to work. But not even a secretary or money will tell us how much.
Yes, it is true that they do not give provisions to the people to work, how can they reach the people?
And now we can’t go down the road because the electricity bill has skyrocketed, said another MP.
Yes, no matter how many times we have said to give concessions, the President is not asking for anything, another state minister said.
They have made people tired of the IMF. Namal said that the electricity bill is high, the water bill is high, taxes are levied on the salaries of professionals, and taxes are imposed on the people.
Yes, it is true, let’s see if we don’t give concessions in the budget this time, said another state minister.
“Yes, because all bad things happen in the bud. Now the cabinet has been reshuffled, all the good things for them. All the bad things in the bud. This is not right..” Namal added.
‘The ministries in our pocket have been given to the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. How many of us are there? Another Member of Parliament raised her voice.
Yes, there are many budding MPs like Dilum Janaka Vakkumbura, Chanaka, Kanaka, Lohan, Shehan. Cabinet ministers could have been given to them. Namal said.
All the problems of the people are being put on our shoulders like all the rubbish is thrown into the Bay of Bengal. All the people who have revised their skulls are putting marks. If we do not give concessions this time, we will take a decision, said the state ministers in unison.
Yes, do you want to wait until 2048 to build the country? Do we have to wait until 2030 to give children lunch? We have to demand immediate relief to the people, Namal said.
Let’s meet again and talk. A decision on this should be taken soon’ said MPs and state ministers.
‘Let’s meet. Let’s get advice from former President Mahinda Rajapaksa for this. Also, let’s inform Basil Rajapaksa too,’ said Namal.
Everyone agreed that ‘if we don’t give concessions this time, we will definitely take care of the budget’.
‘There is now a rumour that the government will be dissolved…’ said one MP with a smile.
“Yes, we are ready for an election,” said Namal.
Namal Rajapaksa had arranged to provide dinner that day.
The specialty here was that an exclusively vegetarian meal was prepared.
