The government is digging its own grave through its current actions, according to Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) National Organiser and Member of Parliament Namal Rajapaksa.

Speaking to the media after a religious ceremony in Seenigama, he noted that the National People’s Power (NPP) engaged in various political activities over the past year during a period that proved especially difficult for the public.

He stated that since the NPP administration took office, citizens suffer significantly due to the imposition of unbearable taxes.

The MP pointed out that the government failed to take swift action to save lives during recent disasters despite having the opportunity to do so, and further failed to deliver on major promises made to the public.

He highlighted that many people spent the New Year in displacement centers and temporary camps, facing uncertainty regarding their lives and homes.

While the President promised compensation for disaster victims, those vows remain unfulfilled.

He urged the administration to prioritise compensation and take immediate steps to resettle displaced families in their homes.

Although the government ignores points raised by opposition parties, he stressed that it must urgently focus on honoring its commitments to the people.

He concluded by stating that the SLPP will continue to fulfill its responsibilities.
