It's charlie Chaplin in his own littel corrupted world!!!.
He should first focus to address the deficit budget. The province owes billions of rupees to the centre. It must pay its share in circular debt. By the way how many security people are guarding his residences. He must bring his wealth from abroad. one can see what amount of income tax he is paying. He is not filling 25000 vacancies of arts subject teachesr but instead wasted billions of rupees on Danish Schools, lapptop and sasti roti ….there is a long list of his achievements.
