Faced with defections of his Government Ministers to the Opposition, President Mahinda Rajapaksa has asked the public to take a correct decision at this election for the sovereignty of the country.
Addressing several election campaign rallies in Dehiaththakandiya and Girandurukotte areas in the Uva Province, the President said that there was a great responsibility for all to secure the unitary status of the country.
Stressing that the Opposition common candidate was getting ready to cut down the benefits including the fertiliser subsidy given to the farmers by this Government, the President emphasised that no one should be allowed to ruin the indigenous and self-sufficient economy this Government built in the country.
Addressing a rally in Ridimaliyadda area the President said the Opposition candidate was planning to slash the number of public servants and it was a great injustice for the youth who were expecting to join the Government service.
The President stressed that all citizens should be aware of their rights and vote wisely at the upcoming election.
