A shopping bag cannot be filled by goods purchased for Rs 5000/- Manusha

" Today  if one purchases goods for rupees five thousand a shopping bag cannot be filled was what the deputy minister of foreign employment Manusha Nanayakkara had said addressing a
meeting..

This budget is not a 'sillara' budget.It is not a budget to convince the people on a short term.It is one that was made thinking of long term and short term.BY year 2000 the people would be satisfied and contended.

The prices of many essential items have been reduced.Still the people find it difficult to make ends meet.Hence the prices of a number of  more items  need to be decreased.Still today if one purchases goods to the value of rupees five thousand a shopping bag cannot be filled
