Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) presidential candidate Namal Rajapaksa says that he will revive efforts to crown Hambanthota as a hub of aviation and naval affairs in South Asia.
He made these remarks during his visit to the Tissamaharama Raja Maha Viharaya to invoke blessings on Sunday (18). He was accompanied by several other lawmakers including Chamal Rajapaksa and State Minister of Power and Energy, D.V. Chanaka.
The SLPP National Organizer, MP Namal Rajapaksa said that the door of the party is open to anyone who has left the party to come back. The MP said this while speaking to the media after a SLPP party meeting held in Anuradhapura.
“We implemented measures to turn Hambanthota into an aviation and naval hub. Unfortunately, the good governance government put an end to those measures.
After the 22nd of September, we expect to turn hambanthota into South Asia’s hub of aviation and naval affairs once again, creating close to a million direct and indirect employment opportunities”, Rajapaksa claimed.
Meanwhile, responding to a question raised by a journalist regarding the rumours that certain MPs who left the party are going to rejoin it, Namal Rajapaksa stated that what matters more than the politicians’ decision, is the political decisions of the public.
“My dealings are only with the people”, he said.
