Speaking to the media in Colombo today (11), Weerawansa claimed the government had to admit the accuracy of the Rajapaksa era development strategies.

After coming to power by sowing the seed of hatred against China, Wickremesinghe has been refused by his masters and now has to go down on his knees before China and beg, he said.

The present regime has no strategic understanding and that is why it is saying the economic plans will be presented after the president returns after attending the G-7 summit, said the NFF leader.

Another bond fraud

Weerawansa also alleged fraud in a Central Bank bond issue, saying that after announcing bonds worth Rs. 40 billion, it had now been raised to Rs. 80 billion, applicable for 14-years at an annual interest of 14.23 per cent.

The buyers have not been revealed, he said, adding that according to what he heard, the company owned by the son-in-law of the CB governor was involved.
