Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa has accused the incumbent government of failing to deliver on its promises, stating that the only thing that has increased under their leadership is the cost of living.
Speaking at a public rally in Borella, Premadasa addressed the growing economic hardships faced by the public, asserting that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) would never prioritize political gain over the people’s welfare.
“Has this government fulfilled the promises they made? Pause and consider the struggles you face today,” Premadasa told the crowd. “They pledged to improve your lives, but all we’ve seen is a relentless rise in the cost of living.”
He accused the government of making false promises to achieve political success and of deceiving the public with empty rhetoric.
“The government has become helpless due to its own failures,” Premadasa charged. “Do you think this administration – or the ones before – truly understand the pain of the people?”
Highlighting the SJB’s commitment to public service, the Opposition Leader vowed to build a new Colombo and stand with the people, rejecting the idea of politics driven by party interest.
“We do politics to serve,” he emphasized. “We are ready to empower a nation that’s struggling to keep up. We will never put party politics above your needs.”
