(COLOMBO, LANKAPUVATH) –NDF Presidential candidate Minister Sajith Premadasa yesterday said if SLPP candidate Gotabaya Rajapaksa is reluctant to come alone for a debate with him he can bring the entire Rajapaksa family with him.
Reiterating his call for a debate with his rival candidate at an election rally in Galigamuwa, Kegalle yesterday Premadasa said the people can have a clear understanding of the views, policies and programmes of the two main candidates at the upcoming election if a debate is held. “If Gotabaya is reluctant to come alone he can bring the entire Rajapaksa family with him. I will face them alone” he added.
Premadasa went on to say that his rival camp is currently engaged in a mud-slinging campaign against him and this was the main activity on the SLPP candidate’s stage.
Minister Premadasa questioned whether the SLPP candidate was even aware about his own party policies.
The NDF presidential candidate said he was always ready to discuss issues about policies, programmes, plans and views with regards to the progress of the country with his rival candidate openly and on a public stage and he believed this would benefit the people immensely in choosing the right candidate to govern the country.
