Several youth representatives supporting common candidate Maithripala Sirisena slammed the government for not adequately answering the concerns of the youth.
Uva Province Opposition Leader Harin Fernando, Western Province Councilor Hirunika Premachandra, Former Minister Duminda Dissanayake and several others were present in the press conference.
Speaking at the media briefing, Harin Fernando said that the government has not been able to provide adequate jobs to the youth and has given government service jobs as a “remedy for all problems.”
Meanwhile Hirunika Premachandra said that there were big questions concerning President Rajapaksa’s decision to run for the presidency a third time. She also added that all important sectors in the country are controlled by a few individuals. Ministers have become mere puppets, Premachandra also said.
