The PML-N leaders are now claiming that load shedding would be over in the next three years. Was it not Mian Shahbaz Shareef who after banging on the table had said that if load shedding was not over in the next six months, his name might be changed? Can we ask him now that since load shedding has not been even reduced, will he change his name?
Another question that arises is that at what cost the power would be available in 2018 since there are no plans to generate cheap hydel power in the absence of KBD. If we are banking on imported fuel and coal, the power may be unaffordable for the masses as the cheap oil may not be available in the future. Our politicians are fond of making promises to befool the people but the bombastic claims made in the past to gain votes would not be forgotten by people of Pakistan.
