President Maithripala Sirisena should be held responsible for the alleged faults of the previous Government, because he was a one of its Cabinet Ministers, claimed former President Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday.
Speaking at an occasion held in Embilipitiya Rajapaksa said if there were unsuitable decisions of the past administration, these were all taken with the approval of the then Cabinet.
“I did not implement anything without the Cabinet approval and if they were wrong the responsibility should go to everyone in the then Cabinet. No one can blame only me,” Rajapaksa claimed.
He also said the Government should do something beneficial for the country without accusing the previous Government all the time.
“Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe are always pointing fingers at the past regime at any time. However they did not start a single worthwhile project for the country,” he charged.
Rajapaksa also said he was disappointed about the Government moves to reduce subsidies on agriculture and irrigation.
“When the United National Party (UNP) came to power in 2001 they said they will curtail the funds allocated for agriculture and irrigation purposes. They said they will reclaim paddies to build factories. However those ideas were rejected by people,” he said.
Rajapaksa added the UNP led Government urges the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) MPs to admit their rejected old economic policies which can destroy the country’s economy. (CG)
