He also served as the Defense Secretary during the reign of President Mahinda Rajapakse. There are allegations that the Rajapaksa company played a big role in winning the war. Still, after the war, it started huge unnecessary projects under the guise of development and engaged in a huge business of making various deals and looting commissions. Because of that, the country went bankrupt. Gotabaya Rajapaksa became the first Sri Lankan President to be ousted by a people's struggle, and his brother, former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa became the first Prime Minister to be dismissed.
