betrayed the confidence of the masses of the province in its five-year tenure and did not honor a
single promise it made with the people of the KP. ” I am disappointed over the politics of Imran Khan
as his politics revolves around cheat, accusations and blame-game”, he added.
The PTI government did not construct a single school, hospital and college in its tenure, he
said and added the people would hold the PTI and Imran Khan accountable for coughing up over
Rs2bn of billion tree tsunami project. The PTI leaders were now accusing each other over the
corruption, he added.
The people of KP, he said would now ask the PTI leaders to show their performance and would
defeat them through balloting in the upcoming elections.

government’s performance was before the people of the KP, he said adding that the KP people were
fed up with PTI and its policies and wanted a real change.
He said the real change could only be brought by the PMLN like it brought in Punjab and Islamabad.

other parts of Punjab to see it for itself.

Peshawar Metro with huge cost. The Lahore metro was constructed at a cost of Rs40 billion and Pindi
Metro at a cost of Rs.45 billion while Peshawar Metro was being constructed at a cost of Rs71 billion.

said, “These two brothers have joined hands under a banner that does not represent
the people of Pakistan.”
“You people voted for his party [PTI] in the 2013 election and he took your vote
and placed it at Zardari’s feet during the Senate elections,” Maryam said adding if
Imran has to do the same next time, “he should just tell people to vote directly for
the arrow, instead of getting them to vote for the bat.”
“When you voted for the PTI in the last election, you hoped Imran will work for
you, make new roads in Swat, however, he spent the whole term in blocking roads
in Punjab and the Federal Capital.”
She said “Where was Imran when floods hit Swat, or when the dengue infection
was prevalent here? Let me tell you where he was, he was in the Federal Capital, being
a pawn in someone else’s efforts to topple the government.”
