Millions of people are starving while Govt. is wasting billions on needless elections - Ravi


(June 14, Colombo, Sri Lanka Guardian) Ravi Karunanayake, UNP M.P. addressing a meeting said that the Govt. is playing ducks and drakes with people’s money only to please itself by holding PC elections before time. While millions are starving, it thinks fit to go for PC elections.

The Govt. spent Rs. 220 million of people’s money in the recent Eastern province elections. Now, it is trying to waste another Rs. 440 million on the upcoming polls- Sabaragamuwa and North central province.

The flood victims were given only Rs.17 million for their relief, he lamented.
