Prime Minister underscores victory of goodness over evil
One has to ensure the victory of goodness at the forthcoming presidential election and prevent evil from coming into our society, Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe told the national legal forum held last Sunday in Colombo, organised by the UNP Lawyers’ Association.
“We made the judiciary independent and brought in reforms. We have slashed the prices of essential goods. This year’s presidential election will be a poll that brings freedom to the people. Sri Lanka is moving towards reconciliation. We saw how the country stepped forward when the dastardly Easter bombs went off three months ago,” he said.
He said following the Easter carnage, the tourism sector had picked up faster than expected.“We invested a staggering Rs.500 billion to convert Sri Lanka into an export and tourism-oriented nation. We have got a new highway network connecting Colombo, Kandy and Hambantota. We managed to convert Hambantota Port into an active one. More than a thousand acres have been set aside to develop a special economic zone in Hambantota. There will be another zone in Bingiriya,” he said.
On a different note, the premier said the country lost its credibility during the previous regime because it was not possible to obtain loans.He praised the presidential candidate of the UNP led alliance, Sajith Premadasa for being one of the most able members of the government team.

Dear ranil,
To prevent EVIL from coming into our society, we should ensure UNP Modada*sa is not elected as President.
His Father, who he is saying will follow policies, was the most corrupt and treacherous President who killed many, many thousands of Sri Lankans.
Modada*sa does not have a brain; you know that very well.
GR is not previous regime; he is an efficient doer.
He is not a member of SLPP.
Work with him to redeem our nation.
Dear Ranil,
You are a great THINKER.
The Country will prosper under a GR/RW Govt.
Mr Fiery Fernando. I totally agree with you. M*dada*sa does not have a brain; That is true. But he got a ugly face.
