Dude IMF didn't just come, they needed LK to be on board,
SL went to IMF for help, like I said SL isn’t new to messing up its finances every so often and turning to the IMF for help
they needed someone who could give the leadership to let the rest work, a guy who would take decisions for the country without thinking about the damage it will do politically to them.
There really wasnt any other option. RW had no chance of getting elected president, so he took the opportunity when it came.
Plus he had no choice but to implement the IMF’s austerity measures - no other country or institution offered a bailout. What else could he have done?
Remember what Badhu kota campaigned on? reducing taxes, reducing electricity, reducing petrol prices and people voted for that right? But did he do any of that? No right. So what would have happened if he actually todl the truth? He would have lost
. That just shows you whatever Ranil did was good for the country but wasn't popular to get him voted again.
What he promised was to fight corruption and avoid repeating the mistakes of the previous governments that ultimately led the country to bankruptcy
Dude the country needs to have a fucking leader i.e. president to agree to follow IMF ne ban, You thought they will just barge in and do what they have to do without having a person who agrees to do what they ask to do?
Yep and even if that leader was Dalas Alahapperuma nothing would've changed.
