Ah, most of you guys have short-term memory loss. If you dont recall, during his 2001/2003 short-lived PM under President Chandrika, Ranil tried to do the same, but it was Jeppo and Poduperamunu goons who decided and convinced to people that it was the government's sole responsibility to give away jobs, which escalated so far that in the last regime they gave away government jobs to people without any qualifications. Imagine that we did so without any steady income, heavily relying on remittances and loans. With the huge debacle of 2003, the UNP never tried that policy again. So who is to blame?
I still remember those JVP and President Chandrika and her goons marching in the race course stadium while giving away government jobs to 40,000 people at once.
