Same old system using as election propagandas as back by the Pohttuwa team and the Unp joint venture. If this time we get caught there will be no way to rescue country. WE HAVE USE OUR VOTE WISLEY.

What was VAT charged on these items in the first place? This is nothing but chanda gundu. People cannot be deceived this time. They have already made up their minds.

This is what Hon Harsha was telling you when VAT rate was revised to 18%. You did not accept his point of view at that time. Now trying to get credit for this.

It wouldn't have happened if there aren't any elections in a few months. Let's see if the Sri Lankan voters, after getting tricked, whipped and rolled over for 76 years are still easy prey for such gimmicks.

You increase VAT and then reduce. Then our foolish Sri Lankan voters think a big favour done and vote for the wrong people. This is like saying Price is Rs 1000 but discount is 300 and net Price is Rs 700. Exploiting the psychology of people. I am not blaming and pointing at current leadership but done by all politicians.

Seems to be mere Rhetoric, whether it will be implemented is left to be seen.

Now the president is offering carrots trying to win the hearts of the people. Wrong action at the wrong time. The people have suffered enough and they have decided.
