Srilanka, Feb. 11 -- Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa criticised the government's response to the recent power outages, claiming that the ongoing electricity disruptions result from a fragile national grid that is incapable of supporting both solar energy growth and periods of low demand.

Premadasa accused the government of repeatedly deflecting the blame for the blackouts.

"First, they blamed the monkeys. Then, they blamed past governments. But the real issue? A fragile grid that can't handle solar growth & low-demand periods. Misinformation won't fix power outages-serious reforms will, especially in the power sector. A real system change starts with transparency," he shared on X.
