Sri Lanka Election: Economy Takes Centre Stage | Vantage with Palki Sharma

In 2022, Sri Lanka faced its worst economic crisis ever. The island nation declared bankruptcy and had to be bailed out by the IMF (International Monetary Fund). So how is the situation two years later? All headlines say the economy is doing better. Inflation is going down and all the markers look positive. But what do the people think? As economy remains the biggest issue on the ballot, we took this question to the people of Sri Lanka. Palki Sharma brings you the voices from the ground.

Dear palki it's not only rajapaksha..Mr ranil wicramasige is the master mind of central bank robbery 😅

[rameshkarunagaran]

Parki you should tell your viewers who is responsible for this. You are fair enough to see the Rajapaksha’s. But you smartly unsee or mask the Wicremasinghe. He was in politics for nearly five decades and been the prime minister for 5 times. Don’t be bias. Tell the truth. People have spoken clearly in India and it will happen in Sri Lanka. Media can’t fool people any more. People are becoming smarter as your foreign minister Jayshankar. He is a role model for change.

[achalaediriweera]

If you watch it till the very end;I think Palki is spot on here.

[chaminda]

Ranil is talking about a bitter pill😂he is part of the problem. He is the biggest crook along with rajapaksha and premadasa clowns.

[roshanpradeep]

The main issue is corrupt politicians because of their corruptions we people has to suffer AKD is the only leader who can bring this corrupt system down 🧭🧭AKD

[real-vwgp]

[RaneMAJ-rw]

Thank you Palki, pleasure to see you live in Sri Lanka. Right at the moment country is in a hell. It will begin to recover and soon after Anura becomes the president

[harimani]

I hope AKD comes to power and thank you Ms. Sharma for exposing the real face. While the cronies and elites gave a positive twist to RW's atrocities.

[philipbandara]

These are the people, who missed used Free facilities. Now, they have been given a bitter 💊.

[chmathfernando]

Preventing corruption is the main theme of this election. If you want to grow the economy, first, you must prevent corruption.

[philipbandara]

Because of these free loaders, , , , Decent silent majority suffered enough! No more.

[thumpanekolla]

Sorry Palki.. Your crush is going to be crushed in this election 😂

[dextertoussaint]

The bitter pill was the people for past 76 years but not for the Ranil Rajapaksa and Premadasa regime, today they go home 😂😂😂

[mrbudd]

Palki is biased. She has never interviewd any one from NPP. Also it is very strange that she never met anyone supporting NPP. Only channel who interviewed Harini from NPP is NDTV.

[himanshurazen]

Palki hates B🤣ritish royalty, Gandhi Family, Sri Lankan JVP. I really want to know her political ideology

[rajakarunalalitha]

Governors has reduced the Senior Citizens Fixed Deposits interest rates 8%
At the beginning it was 15%

Senior Citizens are in a disasters situation

[nishanthasamarasingha]
