During the last 2024 election period, lawyer Chamari Priyanka, wife of the late Sanath Nishantha, who created controversial news by making a statement saying, "If there is a young man who doesn't drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, and doesn't eat meat, for the leadership of this country, it is Namal Rajapaksa," spoke as follows to a question raised by cameramen present during a meritorious event held at a temple.
Question: Madam, what has happened to the current politics and the present government?
Answer: We believe that the people voted for this government with great confidence.
The program called "Clean Sri Lanka," which removed all former individuals and brought in 159 new people, was created by the people themselves. However, just like a sea wave comes and washes away the beach into the sea, only one flood came. We believe that the government was also washed away by that flood. Until we, as the opposition, come and start working, I believe that everyone, including the government and those who claim to be the true opposition, is silent.
Question: Will it be possible to form a government in the future?
Answer: I definitely believe that a government must be formed. Against this disgraceful destruction that is taking place, a forward-moving government must be established.
