Colombo, April 3 (Daily Mirror) - Responding to the challenge by National Peoples Power (NPP) leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake for a public debate, Leader of the Opposition Sajith Premadasa said he is prepared for it.

"I am always prepared for a debate as it is a feature of democracy. However, I like to tell those who call me for a debate to carry out programs like I do," he said reffering to his programmes where he distributes buses and IT equipment to schools and medical equipment to hospitals.

Sri Lankan constitution should include a clause where presidential candidates have at least one debate amongst top 2-3 candidates televised nationally. Most western democracies have this.

Sajith may try his victorian English here if he gets into some trouble.

It is just a battle of two jokers who didn't have the backbone to step forward to rescue the country from total anarchy.

The acceptance becomes questionable when Sajith requires or request AKD to start a Bus gifting program. Is this a precondition for the debate? Can Sajith confirm

What they debate we want to make sure that they put in practice after one of them is elected.Not only Economic reform,we want political and also Social reforms,how they will put it right.To discuss only economic reforms we can bring two Pittakottuwa Mudalalis,not two Presidential candidates

Is their “A Team” ready to take over a Messy Economy Thursday, 04 April 2024 06:04 AM

If either one of them gets elected, it won’t be easy. Current situation of the economy is so messy and really wonder if these fellas can handle it from scratch. They better get their “A Team” of economists, professionals in other fields to be ready to take over a Bankrupt country with high expenses and low incoming revenues. As usual, they will blame the previous regime for many things and that’s why they are being nominated to take over. Hope they won’t give excuses such as those we heard during the “ Sirisena and Ranil’s period.

Is it a new file to your bundle of files ? Have you included the establishment of garment industries bringing foreign exchange (as AKD doesn't know) in one of those files?

This will certainly be a very difficult task for Sajith as oratory skills of AKD is far ahead of Sajith

You are an all-rounder; you could play any games and sing any songs. Dissanayake is a peanut - worry not you are the winner.

AKD is genuine people’s’ man but SP is with people for achieve his political goals

AKD is genuine with no action but rhetoric words after being the Agricultural minister under Chandrika and as the chief of committee against corruption under My3. And SP is with tangible actions. It's what matters rather than mere words.

Programs of gifting busses, IT and medical equipment? Are these the great political programs in Sajith`s mind? If someone asks where he can gets the money to do all the gifting it will be difficult for him to explain. He better stay out of a debate of any kind without exposing his immaturity even more.

One should, without singing the praises of one's own conduct in the election campaign, as Premadasa does, enter into a debate with AKD! An election victory will depend crucially on which of the two presents the most convincing economic policy program that will put an end to the state of emergency facing the majority of the people and the debt crisis in the long term!!! As far as I know, neither of the two presidential candidates is doing that!!! Neither of them has demonstrated proven competence in the key area of the economy, nor the personal qualities and abilities that are indispensable for a future president!!! Even a well-staged rhetorical "show fight" on TV will not eliminate the personality deficits, the lack of political stature and the "colorlessness" of both politicians for the highest office in Sri Lanka!!! The parties should reconsider their choice of candidates in order to embark on a new policy, otherwise too much of the "old restorative" policy will remain!!!

SP do you know something, you can gift busses, IT equipment, and hospital accessories, buy why people don't want is the same set is still them, no change, but in NPP, the whole set is new, also you will not be catching the people who stole.
