- Sri Lanka is in middle of an unprecedented economic crisis.
Colombo has no money, no food, no essential medicines or fuel.
Food prices have gone up by at least 30%. Who is to be blamed for this?
Gotabaya Rajapaksa or China?
Palki Sharma tells you.

Hope Indian leaders and People will realise how Appeasement and Freebies politics destroys economy slowy slowly.
But some parties will not realise this because their very existence is dependent on these policies.
True, someone should tell this to Yogi if it wasn't for his freebies he wouldn't be in power.

I get the feeling this channel is slightly diverting its politics. Perhaps Indian government is just about to cut a deal with Rajapakses.
most of them prefer Old Monk 🍷
@@mellowmonsoon278 cut a deal against what , pennies. Is india somehow supposed to topple the SL govt or interfere in SL politics. India is providing assistance but since Rajpakse govt is still in power, what India supposed to do, wait for them to go and then provide assistance. Recently India sent foodgrains as aid to taliban ruled afghanistan , so does that mean it cut a deal with taliban?
As a Sri Lankan I never had this kind of understanding before .state media hides all this .we Sri Lankans should go through a revolution.its about time .

Bruh, this srilankan guy is showing gratitude for the necessary help he is getting from India. And here my Indian brothers are being hurtful to him.

fine and simple presentation with lots of information. As an Indian and Keralite, I am worried about the way CPIM lead LDF is going in the same way as Lanka. Cash crops are fetching less money and administrative expenses are going up.
The mismanagement issue is indeed a dangerous path for any country. Electing someone inadequate for the job is the first step towards the disaster. I pray from my country for our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka 🙏🏻

This video needs to go to AAP and kejriwal supporters!!
Nothing is free , anywhere.
We already know delhi was unable to manage COVID under kejriwal government..
Please see this !!
They already know.. but when choosing between free stuff and Country of a fiscal prudence, they chose free stuff
Y'all are clowns. Everything needs a systematic aproach. What may work for one may not work for the other. Ypu can't compare fish in water with squirrels on trees. Delhi Government as long as continues to give a profit, it's a model that is sustainable. Delhi has not reduced taxes like these Lankans, just given benefits that the people deserve. Please study economics.
Is not it you are judging book by it's cover page
forget kejriwal, this lesson needs to go to mamata in wb.
she has totally destroyed wb finances with her various appeasement handouts and subsidies. now wb debt is in line with sl, and we will very soon have to go with begging bowl in hand to centre.
KCR too. He has announced 10 lakhs per year to every Dalit family in Telangana. This is the beyond the limits of freebies.
This clearly explains why tax is important. And how it should be well managed.
Tax is important when spent correctly. If money are stolen by those in power it does no good to raise taxes. Spending tax money right never happens in no country.
Tax alone cannot put a country in good shape... other factors follows
So this is not tax issue
@@krumba100 totally. I am happy to pay taxes but don't want them lining the pockets of politicians. that is literally stealing

@@keithdrower9120 Do you need Copium?
Agree with everything said...but as a Sri Lankan I would also like to point out that during the past 70 years most politicians made it a point to bankrupt local productions just so they could import foreign goods with personal comissions. And the Rajapaksa family took it to the next level by doing the same but at such a rate that the country went bankrupt within just a few years since they came to power. Their foreign accounts grew in trillions while the country's economy plummeted. They are nothing more than a bunch of uneducated war criminals who came to power by spreading racism. And the saddest of all is that people still voted them into power.
Couldn’t agree more mate
As same as Russia
agreed
then why did the people voted for their family?
Sounds like south African corrupt president who sold the country to the greedy Guptas.
Sri Lanka needs a whole new batch of visionaries to form a whole new government and allow it's citizens to send in their comments on how best to tackle their economy.
this is what true reporting is. simple and direct to the point, no bias and reports the truth. commend this kind of media
If there are 9 ministers from one family in so-called democracy, disaster is bound to happen.

Well people of Delhi and Punjab certainly didn't ask how the state economy sustains with freebies. Some other regional state governments are doing the same too. Irony is freebies people donot watch channels like WION and will certainly do not understand bankruptcy!
I agree
It is even more shameful for both Delhi and Punjab, as AAP leader Kejriwal (is an IITian). One would assume a person like him to have some commonsense and a working knowledge of economics (without watching WION).
Uh i had a question. Since we know the kejri gives everything free where do we see its cons ?? Like it is affecting economy but like where ?? I just need this in order to explain someone that free stuff is not always good as we think

Actually astrologically this makes sense. Srilanka's republic was born in 1972. 1972_73 is a grey lizzard patch hence countries born in this timeframe will struggle a lot. Unfortunately Chandrika kumaratunga couldn't get her Constitution passed in 1995 which had it been done would have resulted in prosperity,stability and peace as 1995 is a good year.

Mr. Rajapaksa: Sure, sure, you know I always support your position. My opponents may not agree. You have to promise to help my family win the power for next few decades.
China: Definitely. What more wise leader can lead Sri Lanka? It is a deal. Here is $30 million for your next election expenses and some weapons to fight those pesky Tamils. We will take care of human rights abuses too for you.
Mr. Rajapaksa: Thank you. Here is my signature on the agreement that charges 7% interest on the loan. I don't understand why stupid Japan did not agree for 7% interest rate and insisted they want to charge only 0.5% interest rate.
China: US and Japan are indeed stupid. Thank you for that signature. We will start the project right away.
China Harbor Company: Hey all the Chinese employees, get ready, we are going to Sri Lanka. We make up 80% of the port workers there. Let us get back all the money our government is lending to Sri Lanka.
2015:
Mr. Rajapksa: Stupid Sri Lankans did not elect me. I am sad.
China: Sri Lankans did not elect their wisest leader. Let us get back the loans we gave them. Press them as hard as possible.
Mr. Sirisena: Sirs, We do not have money. We are paying 86% of our taxes as interest payment, most of it to you. Wait please.
China: We can't wait. Hand over the Hambantota port or declare default.
Mr. Sirisena: OK, take the port. Can you please loan more money to meet our upcoming interest payments, please, pretty please?
China: Wait, Hambantota port is not worth $1.1 billions now. It is not making any money. You have to add 15,000 acres of farmland surrounding it to pay back our loan. Of course, we will lend more money too.
Mr. Sirisena: Good deal, Sirs. Take the port and 15,000 acres and give us that check. I am in a hurry to fight against in-fighting and disunity within our party and government urgently.
2019-2020:
Mr. Rajapaksa: Sri Lankan people, see what happened when you gave the power to them? They are bickering with each other, forgot development, gave away our port, nobody is willing to lend money to us anymore. Vote for me.
Sri Lankan People: Yes. You are the best we have. You are our next president.
China: Mr. Rajapaksa, you won again, but how are you planning to payback our loans?
Mr. Rajapaksa: I don't know. One possibility is to take loans from you. I know Chinese workers have used our girls for their comfort for the last decade, so we are relatives now. I know your population is short of girls, so we will supply all we can. This is the practice of the kings in the ancient days to create great alliances.
China: That is true. We are doing the same to Pakistani girls as we build CPEC. Do you think your people agree to that?
Mr. Rajapaksa: Yes, Yes, they will not know or hear anything better. I will manage that. Welcome to the 21st century Sri Lankan politics. I managed to concentrate all the power in my presidency through 20th amendment, so no worries.
China: We wish you all the best and wish rest of the world sees wisdom in this development.
2022:
Mr. Rjapaksa: We won't meet our external debt payments due now because we ran out of foreign currency reserves.
People of Sri Lanka: Gota Go!
Ha ha... just about right!!
Absolutely correct 👍
Rofl you just summed up everything but girls part at the last is extremely disrespectful
Flocking back to India as expected.
Are you a script writer?
I feel for the people of Sri Lanka. I visited this beautiful country back in the early noughties. The people were happy, they had jobs, plenty of food, with no political problems/dilemmas. Today, oh dear!! I don't know how the country is gonna turn around from this chaos!!
I went to SL in 2018. It was a good place to visit. Now they are doomed. They won't get out of this mess. EVER! :-((

If you want to destroy a country, give them free stuff for 10 years and then watch the country going bankrupt and less secure due to weak defence budgets.
Thanks to Kejri to start this new dangerous trend in India too.
DMK is bigger brother of Kejriwal.Freebies galore in TN.
That's what happened to Puerto Rico. But they didn't learn their lesson. They recently took another loan. Plus they have gentrification but they waited too late to protest. They're going to lose their island.

Now that’s what I call a well researched report with facts and figures. Good job 👍
Hardly well researched all babbles and general what not. Not once has she mentioned corruption
Thank you from Canada for great reporting.
Ma'am your contents are always useful for defense aspirations like me.
Thank you ma'am.
This is the economic policy of Arvind Kejriwal
This would be situation of India if arvind khujliwal was the prime minister
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
This is why reasearching before spewing shit is important. Delhi is under a budget surplus. As long as there is no deficit, there is no harm in rolling out freebies
@@alinasarasamuel506 so your justifying rolling of freebies?
Pulki rocked again.. so much to learn from her on how to deliver speech!! So effective
take as a compliment,whenever i need to know truth,i turn to you.Kindly do as u always did,that is true reporting, dont become like others news agency who are completely biased.good work WION/GRAVITAS.
A good briefing on the crisis of Sri Lanka..👍
Sri Lankan crisis has shown that debt, personal/public debt has the capacity to become ur biggest threat and danger especially if you don't have enough emergency funds and ur existing income streams face problems in an unforeseen event like COVID etc. Also Sri Lankan crisis is a big headache and problem for its creditors as well as I don't think any country will be willing to Write off Sri lanka's debts.
These lankans love sleeping with China. They worship the Chinese. Let them suffer. Lankans have given a port to China for military base. These lankans love to be c0l0nised by Ch1na. Look at their currency lol. Even toilet paper has more value lmao.
