The government should make available bullock carts in keeping with Mahinda Chintanaya and Fowzie may be appointed Minister for Cart Resources and Cart Development.

Why did this man make promises to CPC workers knowing very well that he could not honour them?

Ours is a government incapable of distribution of fuel without interruptions, how can it ensure equitable distribution of the national wealth?

I wish workers set his beard on fire!

Fowzie is good at only demolishing slums and shanties—remember his mayoral days—and not doing any constructive work.

Whose interests is he promoting, Mahinda’s or Ranil’s?

Naturally, Fowzie has failed because the Rajapaksa brothers are keeping all the plum ministries to themselves.

Hon Minister "Promise the workers that you will accompany them on a trip to Mecca on Mihin Air, if they agree not to work to rule or strike in the future."

Stop looking for oil on our soil; JVP guys will seize the rigs.

I do not care for Mahinda, Somawansa or Fowzie; I have my bicycle.

Siddhalepa mudalali promised us a cow each at the last presidential election; Will Mahinda promise us a bull each at the next election?

You cannot resolve a fuel crisis with the help of political power; you must go for solar power.

I have an oil well at home: I have filled my well with fuel just in case.
