President Ranil Wickramasinghe says that a woman from Kilinochchi presented him with a hat as a token of gratitude for the help provided by providing food, medicine, fuel and essential aid, and its value exceeds one crore rupees. He said this while joining an election rally held in Dambadeniya.
“I couldn’t wait when people don’t have food, medicine, fertilizer, fuel, gas, and money to live. At that time, I decided to take responsibility and do the best.
Unfortunately, Sajith Premadasa, the presidential candidate of Samagi Jana Balavega, and Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the presidential candidate of N.P.P, who were ahead of me, withdrew.
How can it be wrong to help the people with the support of those willing to take responsibility when no one in the country had food, medicine, fertilizer or fuel to live. Sajith Premadasa and Anura Kumara Dissanayake were initially asked to take over the country. But they did not agree.
This hat was given by the woman in honor of our efforts to help them survive. She told me that this cap is not enough but she will also vote for me,” he said.
