The protests can therefore easily convert into anger against India and the Indian government.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ramesh pointed to recent projects by the Adani Group in neighboring countries that ignited protests against their governments. He specifically referenced a contract between former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina\u2019s government and Adani\u2019s coal plant in Jharkhand, which became a critical factor in the unrest that ultimately led to her resignation.<\/p>\n<p>He further criticized the Indian Prime Minister\u2019s relationship with the Adani Group, arguing that it has diminished India\u2019s global standing.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cToday, the Prime Minister\u2019s collusion with the Adani Group has contributed to the erosion of India\u2019s strength and led to unprecedented setbacks on the global stage\u2014just one of the many sacrifices the country has made due to the non-biological PM\u2019s special friendship,\u201d<\/em> he added.<\/p>\n<p>These remarks came after Adani Enterprises established a Kenyan subsidiary to further its efforts to take over the management of JKIA. Adani Group launched a new company in Kenya called Airports Infrastructure PLC (AIP) through its step-down subsidiary, Global Airports Operator L.L.C. (GAO). This new entity aims to manage, upgrade, and modernize airports throughout the country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED \u2013 Senator Onyonka: Adani\u2019s Deal With Govt Extends Beyond JKIA<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Adani announced the creation of AIP in a notice dated August 30, which it communicated to both the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) and the National Stock Exchange of India Limited (NSE).<\/p>\n<p>Although Adani has not yet initiated business operations, AIP is officially registered under the Companies Act of 2015 and is wholly owned by Global Airports Operator L.L.C.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, no cash consideration or share swap was involved in the formation of this subsidiary, as GAO retains full ownership of the share capital.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The proposed takeover of Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) by the Indian firm Adani Group has encountered new opposition, as concerns have been raised by India\u2019s Congress.
