Mr. Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the presidential candidate from the National People’s Force, emphasized his commitment to creating a government that aligns closely with the aspirations of the common people. He made these remarks during a meeting held in Matara, organized by former students of Matara Rahula Vidyalaya.
In his address, Dissanayake assured the audience that their trust in him would not be misplaced. He acknowledged the widespread desire among citizens for a government that serves their interests and works towards building a better nation. Dissanayake contrasted this with what he described as the dual objectives often held by rulers, suggesting that there is frequently a disconnect between the goals of the people and those of their leaders.
He reiterated his dedication to bridging this gap, promising to establish a government where the goals of the people and the ruler are unified. Dissanayake expressed his deep empathy with the concerns of the populace, aligning his vision with their expectations for a more responsive and accountable government.
The meeting, which took place on August 23, 2024, in Matara, was an opportunity for Dissanayake to connect with local residents and share his vision for a government that prioritizes the needs and aspirations of the general public. His pledge to ensure that the objectives of his administration align with those of the people underscores his campaign’s focus on responsive and inclusive governance.
