<h1>Former President Criticizes Government for Stalling Adani Renewable Energy Project; Urges Continuation of Economic Policies</h1> Sri Lanka's former president criticized the current government for failing to advance a renewable energy project with Indian conglomerate Adani in Mannar. He highlighted the importance of strengthening economic ties with India, noting his previous efforts to focus on South India for renewable energy and trade. Adani withdrew from two proposed wind power projects after the new government sought to renegotiate tariffs, citing high costs and potential corruption.

His comments coincide with an upcoming visit by India's Prime Minister.
