The Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe
Hon. Mahinda Jayasinghe stated that the Government has a 60-month mandate and is implementing its election promises progressively. He rejected attempts to raise what he described as spurious points of order, and referred to political developments around the Colombo Municipal Council and Avissawella Urban Council votes as examples of the Opposition’s failed positioning.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please sit down; there is no point of order.
¶ 02 We did not take office for seven months or a week—we have a 60-month mandate and are implementing our promises one by one. That is why some are agitated.
¶ 03 I also saw how some gathered together in the media before the Colombo Municipal Council vote—Namal, Sajith, Dayasiri—now look where they are. Likewise with Avissawella UC. Do not try to rewrite history here with spurious points of order.
