The present regime harbours the superrich while denying the freedom of speech and other democratic rights for the rest of the country, charged opposition leader Sajith Premadasa.
An ineffective government led by a failed president is leaving the people almost at the throes of death, he also alleged.
Premadasa was speaking after handing over smart classroom equipment to Almina Vidyalaya in Kaduruwela, Polonnaruwa.
He added that 2024 will be a year to change a government that is a curse on the people and ignores their woes.
