Leader of the House and Minister Bimal Rathnayke yesterday charged that the Opposition was no longer the true love of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Emphasising how closely the Government is working with the IMF, Rathnayake told Parliament that said the multilateral donor agency has accepted President Anura Kumara Disanayake and the incumbent Government as its ‘true love’.

“Most of the Opposition, particularly the SJB, thought the IMF is their true love. However, the IMF has dumped them and has accepted President Anura Kumara Dissanayake as a more competent person,” Rathnayake said adding, “That’s why the IMF Chief said ‘bravo’ to him.”
