Agriculture Minister K.D. Lal Kantha says that the politician who stood for neoliberalism within Sri Lankan society is former President Ranil Wickremesinghe. He says that he is the most knowledgeable person in this regard and that Mahinda Rajapaksa does not have such a vision .
He said that Ranil Wickremesinghe is a person with a philosophy and that Mahinda Rajapaksa is a person who only maintained society without any philosophy.
He also said that people should no longer be recruited to the public service without restrictions and that the government should intervene to create jobs in the private sector outside the state. He expressed these views while addressing a seminar organized by the National People’s Power.
