How could one define this as a budget. It was a one way show. Public does not believe in presented budgets any more. Just a eye wash.

Where was the chest-beating Namal Baby? As I predicted he was not in the Parliament to vote for the budget. A guy who does not have the guts to act but only makes TV statements should be kicked out of Parliament for good.

The fate of Sri Lankans can not be changed in any way, keeping this Ranil guy in power to devastate the lives of the poor.
