Colombo, September 12 (Daily Mirror) - Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Presidential candidate Namal Rajapaksa pledged to turn Sri Lanka into a developed nation in Asia in ten years’ time.

Rajapaksa, who was speaking during a rally in Agalawatta, said he has undertaken the task of developing the nation and will create a better future for the nation.

He ensured that a future SLPP government will support the local farmers by ensuring fair and stable prices for their produce such as tea, pepper and milk.

“We believe that the fertiliser subsidy should also be provided to tea small holders. We work according to a planned programme. We are a principled political party. Therefore, we work according to a plan. We assure you that we will fulfill the responsibility of transforming Sri Lanka into a developed country in Asia within the next 10 years,” he added.

“I have created a political force with a group of principled politicians needed to build this country in a difficult time and a challenging period,” he further said.
