National People\u2019s Power (NPP) Leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake, speaking in Australia today, said that overseas Sri Lankans had hope on Gotabaya Rajapaksa during the 2019 Presidential polls.<\/p>\n
Speaking to a large gathering in Melbourne, Dissanayake said that the 2019 election was when the largest number of overseas Sri Lankans got involved.<\/p>\n
He said that most Sri Lankans felt that Gotabaya Rajapaksa will not be influenced by his bothers, he will instill discipline in society and develop the country.<\/p>\n
The NPP leader said that he does not feel any Sri Lankan in Melbourne backed Gotabaya Rajapaksa during the 2019 election with obtaining personal benefits in mind.<\/p>\n
Dissanayake said that people felt Gotabaya Rajapaksa will help solve the issues the country and its people were facing.<\/p>\n
He asserted that there was nothing wrong with that as the intentions were good but that was not the intention of the leader.<\/p>\n
Dissanayake said that the leader had other intentions adding that this was clear in a statement made later by former Minister Basil Rajapaksa who said that all the court cases against him were withdrawn.<\/p>\n
Anura Kumara Dissanayake assured that the NPP will meet the expectations of the people.<\/p>\n
He said there is no future for the country if there is no change in the political leadership.<\/p>\n
Dissanayake said that several Sri Lankans have chosen to move to Australia as the economy in Australia is strong.<\/p>\n
