The government has once again gone back on promises to the nation during the holy month of Ramazan, said Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf chairman Imran Khan.
The government had claimed they would control load shedding and rising prices during the holy month but they have been unable to do so. Load shedding has returned to haunt the people and the rising prices of essential commodities too has added to their misery.
In fact, electricity, CNG and petroleum prices have all been raised during this month. The reason for this massive load shedding is corruption, poor governance, bad planning and the people have had to endure the consequent incompetence of these rulers.
The electricity problem was to some extent self created, said Imran Khan adding that the circular debt could have been reduced had the present government used coal instead of durance oil.
He added that a subsidy of over one trillion rupees had been paid, electricity tariff had been doubled but no solutions had been found to the electricity crisis.
In fact, said Khan, the energy crisis had been due to the present prime minister’s Rental Power scam to loot and plunder. It was because of corruption, said Imran, that any and every plan proposed by this government to solve the energy crisis had never been implemented.
