While thanking Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe for making some amendments to the Budget 2016, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa today termed the Budget 2016 as a ‘historic budget’ as he never seen such a budget before.

“I have not seen such a budget earlier, this showed the inefficiency of the government, so I would like to term this budget as a historical one,” former President and Kurunegala district MP Mahinda Rajapaksa told in Parliament.

He also said that he never fought against Tamil people, but fought against terrorist leader Prabhakaran.

If he thinks Tamils will believe that he fought Praba and not them, he is only deluding himself.

Having ruined the progressive proposals in the budget with the help of MR crony Unions, MR is nowsaying budget is bad. It was a good one till the traitors wanted their pound of flesh immediately.

It is true that is historical because it is people oriented not family oriented as before with 2/3 allocation to the family to swallow up.

Historic statement from MR. It is better for Sri Lankan politics, if politicians are honest of the good work of their ri als, at the expense of exposing their mistakes. Politics should not be about individuals and personalities, but about policies and decisions.
