Claiming that the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) was yet to take a decision regarding the budget 2024, former president Mahinda Rajapaksa said yesterday that the party would make a decision shortly.
Speaking to the media, he said the SLPP would support the proposals that they can agree upon and would not support those they cannot approve of.
When asked whether the SLPP had discussed the budget proposals with the President, Mr. Rajapaksa said he did not attend any discussions and said he was unaware whether others in the party attended any such discussion.
Responding to another question, he said it was good that the state employees were given an allowance even some months later.
