Hon. (Dr.) Susil Ranasinghe questioned the implementation of schemes intended for low-income beneficiaries, alleging that selections in some cases were influenced by political favoritism. He stated that associates, relatives, supporters, and campaign workers of the then-MP were chosen instead of genuinely low-income families.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English
