Former Colombo Mayor Rosy Senanayake criticized President Anura Kumara Dissanayake and his government, questioning, "Where is the rich country and beautiful life that Anura Kumara Dissanayake said he is building now?"

 Speaking at a media briefing, she expressed concern over the rising cost of living, particularly the inability to afford rice. "Women are the most impacted group by this crisis. I honestly fear the future of the country as a woman," she said.

She further criticized broken promises, including the fuel price of Rs 52 per liter, calling it a lie. "People were cheated and elected by lying," she remarked.

Senanayake also criticized the government's inconsistencies, adding, "I feel great fear as a woman. The journey of this government is very unclear." She also accused NPP candidate K.D. Lalkantha of hypocrisy regarding his position, stating, "Lalkantha, who accused me about the Porsche vehicle I got for the position given to me by the President's office, is now driving a Range Rover without any position in the Government."
