COLOMBO (News 1st); Anura Kumara Dissanayake, the leader of the National People's Power (NPP), has declared his readiness to usher in the much-anticipated change that the citizens of Sri Lanka yearn for.

Dissanayake criticized the current political climate, marked by opportunism and corruption.

Dissanayake, addressing a fervent crowd, stated, "The politics of our nation have been marred by deceit and self-interest. It's time to reject the politics of convenience, where allegiances are as transient as the wind."

He lambasted the existing political parties for their revolving-door policies, likening them to saloon doors, easy to enter and exit, a metaphor for the lack of loyalty and principle. 

Dissanayake announced that the NPP's doors are firmly shut to those who have abandoned the party's principles. 

"What Sri Lanka needs now is a government that stands on principle, one that will halt the rampant theft plaguing our country," he asserted.
