It is reported that the Mahanayake of the Malwaththe Chapter, Thibbatuwawe Sri Sumangala Thero, has said that the National People's Power should win the upcoming general election and carry forward its program for the country.
It is said that the Prelate expressed these views when Prime Minister Dr. Harini Amarasuriya visited him at Malwathty Maha
Viharaya after engaging in religious rites at the Temple of the Tooth.
The Mahanayake has said that the country's economy should be strengthened, that when poverty increases, crimes increase, and that the currently closed industries should be restarted.
He has said that government officials in this country did not do their duties satisfactorily before, but when the leadership is straight and honest, they also do the same.
