Notably, not a single tear gas canister or water cannon attack has been deployed against citizens. Instead, all grievances and issues raised during protests have been addressed through direct dialogue and negotiations. It is against this backdrop that the fractured opposition continues to propagate claims of an authoritarian regime while remaining in disarray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, the government has successfully accelerated the recovery of the country\u2019s previously bankrupt economy. By keeping the budget deficit at a minimal level, the administration has also initiated large-scale infrastructure and development projects financed through domestic capital investment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(A detailed video report covering these economic achievements is included below.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"\u201c\u0da2\u0dcf\u0dad\u0dca\u200d\u0dba\u0db1\u0dca\u0dad\u0dbb\u0dba \u0dad\u0dd4\u0dc5 \u0dc0\u0da9\u0dcf\u0dad\u0dca \u0dc1\u0d9a\u0dca\u0dad\u0dd2\u0db8\u0dad\u0dca \u0dbb\u0da7\u0d9a\u0dca \u0dbd\u0dd9\u0dc3 \u0db1\u0dd0\u0d9c\u0dd3 \u0dc3\u0dd2\u0da7\u0dd3\u0db8\u0da7 \u0d85\u0db4\u0dda \u0dbb\u0da7\u0da7 \u0dc4\u0dd0\u0d9a\u0dd2\u0dc0\u0dd3 \u0dad\u0dd2\u0db6\u0dd9\u0db1\u0dc0\u0dcf\u201d\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sDUpBXCjQNY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-comments-closed saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div class='saic-wrap-link'><a id='saic-link-29946' class='saic-link saic-icon-link saic-icon-link-true auto-load-true' href='?post_id=29946&amp;comments=0&amp;get=30&amp;order=DESC' title='0 Comments'><i class='saico-comment'><\/i><span>0<\/span> Comments<\/a><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-link--><div id='saic-wrap-commnent-29946' class='saic-wrap-comments' style='display:none;'><div id='saic-wrap-form-29946' class='saic-wrap-form saic-clearfix'><div class='saic-form-avatar'><\/div><div id='saic-container-form-29946' class='saic-container-form saic-no-login'><p>Comments are closed<\/p><\/div><!--.saic-container-form--><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-form--><div id='saic-comment-status-29946'  class='saic-comment-status'><\/div><ul id='saic-container-comment-29946' class='saic-container-comments saic-order-DESC ' data-order='DESC'><\/ul><div class='saic-holder-29946 saic-holder'><\/div><\/div><!--.saic-wrap-comments--><\/div><!--.saic-wrapper-->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, September 21, marks exactly two years since the historic Presidential Election in which President Anura Kumara Dissanayake secured victory [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":27701,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[94,97],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-latest","category-smartphones","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29946"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29946\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29947,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29946\/revisions\/29947"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/27701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lankatruth.com\/en\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
