In a veiled critique of Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa, Buddhist Monk Vanusi Rahula addressed a religious gathering organized by SJB national organizer Tissa Attanayake in Galigamuwa, Kegalle. During the event, the monk emphasized the importance of punctuality and reliability in leadership.

Without directly naming Sajith Premadasa, the monk made his point clear, stating that someone who cannot adhere to schedules, regardless of their responsibilities, cannot effectively manage a country, let alone a household.

During his address, the monk pointed out an incident where the opposition leader arrived 20 minutes late to the scheduled 4 pm event. He stressed the need for leaders to respect and adhere to time commitments, citing it as an essential quality for those aspiring to lead a nation
