MP Namal Rajapaksa announced that his three MPs will donate their allocated cabs to the Ministry of Health, accusing the government of deception and promising a united opposition showdown on November 21.
Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) MP Namal Rajapaksa declared that his three MPs do not require cabs and that the vehicles will instead be handed over to the Ministry of Health. Addressing the media after recent discussions with the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP), Rajapaksa said the decision was made to expose the government’s failures and misuse of resources while the people suffer under economic strain.
The MP criticized President Anura Kumara Dissanayake for delivering a four-and-a-half-hour budget speech filled with empty promises and said the President seems eager to repeat the same next year. Rajapaksa added that the government continues to deceive citizens with false claims and mismanaged projects while ignoring the urgent needs of ordinary people.
He emphasized that, despite party differences, all opposition groups will unite to challenge what he described as a fraudulent and ineffective administration. Discussions, he said, have already been held with other opposition parties, and he expects full participation at the major rally in Nugegoda on November 21.
Rajapaksa concluded that this event will mark a collective stand for truth, transparency, and accountability, as the opposition seeks to hold the government responsible for its continued failures.
