Gunasekara, by issuing false statements over the Treasury bond issue.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cCOPE Subcommittee Chairman Gunasekara is a respectable and decent politician. He worked efficiently to solve problems in COPE reports during the past several years. Prime Minister Wickremesinghe must learn to respect him,\u201d Yapa asserted.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the SLFP\u2019s new political stance, Yapa said that \u2018Empowering the Economy\u2019 would be its new theme for the upcoming election.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe expect to continue all development projects which have been halted by the new Government. Our plans will be focused on empowering the country\u2019s economy. Actually we do not have time to waste on discussions. We believe it is time to implement our plans,\u201d Yapa noted.<\/p>\n<p>Attacking the United National Party (UNP), Yapa claimed that the UNP did not have innovative ideas to develop Sri Lanka.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe UNP failed to introduce new systems and do things to develop the country. It only tried to spread false opinions about the SLFP among the public. However, the SLFP has proven that it had new ideas to develop the country,\u201d Yapa emphasised. <\/p>\n<p><em>Courtesy:Daily FT<\/em><\/p>\n<div id=\"tweetbutton42052\" class=\"tw_button\" style=\"float:right;margin-left:10px;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdbsjeyaraj.com%2Fdbsj%2F%3Fp%3D42052&amp;text=Special%20Media%20Briefing%20by%20Ranil%20Amounts%20to%20a%20Confession%20on%20Treasury%20Bonds%20Issue%20Charges%20SLFP&amp;related=&amp;lang=en&amp;count=horizontal\" class=\"twitter-share-button\"  style=\"width:55px;height:22px;background:transparent url('https:\/\/dbsjeyaraj.com\/dbsj\/wp-content\/plugins\/wp-tweet-button\/tweetn.png') no-repeat  0 0;text-align:left;text-indent:-9999px;display:block;\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Chamodi Gunawardana The Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) yesterday charged that Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe had essentially made a confession over the Central Bank Treasury bond issue by organising a special media briefing at Sirikotha on Tuesday.
