Our policy is renewable energy, says Opposition leader Sajith

The Samagi Jana Balawegaya and its leadership firmly believe that the majority of the country's energy generation must come from renewable energy.

Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa made these remarks during a discussion held with renewable energy developers regarding renewable energy at the Opposition Leader's office.

Many politicians state that renewable energy should receive promotion when they are in the Opposition, but they become slaves to the thermal energy mafia once they come to power, the Opposition leader mentions.

Furthermore, the policies of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya do not trade for money, privileges, or perks, and the party stands to promote renewable energy both while in the Opposition and upon receiving governance power, Premadasa add.

Although entrepreneurs dedicated to renewable energy are available, the current government acts to drive them away by conspiring, but a Samagi Jana Balawegaya government remains committed to strengthening them further, he concluded.
