- When establishing Law & Order, it will be enforced equally, regardless of their wealth, power, and title.
- Our stand is that the executive presidency should be abolished.
- A presidential candidate of a main political party promised to reserve a section of the Ministry of Culture for Astrology. Likewise, superstition has become a political ideology of certain political parties, but what we promise is a country built with our own spirit.
- The farmer in Killinochchi gets a lesser amount for his kilo of paddy, compared with a farmer in Polonnaruwa. We would end the mafia that plunders the farmers. We will implement agricultural policies that will get the farmers an income.
- The utmost attention would be given to the Education of our children. We will create a school network where children need not travel more than 2 km to attend school.
- The health issue in the country is very serious. We will create an environment where our children would get a nutritious meal, so that, they will be very active and robust.
- We will make Laws respecting and identifying characteristics of all Sinhalese, Muslims and Tamils citizens as equal.
