The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) will clean sweep across the province in the upcoming local bodies’ polls, said former Punjab Governor and PTI leader Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar on Sunday.
Sarwar said that PTI is the only political party in the country which enjoys the support of the masses due to its ideology and fair play in the national politics. He claimed that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was never serious in holding local bodies’ elections in the country and credit goes to the Supreme Court for passing orders to hold the polls.
“The local government system will strengthen the country and ensure true democracy. Local bodies can only be implemented by devolution of power to complete a democratic system,” he maintained.
Criticising the policies of the government, the former governor said that its policies have aggravated the miseries of the general masses. He said that PTI pleaded the case of the people in the court and to the Election Commission of Pakistan for holding local government elections and has finally succeeded in ensuring rights of the people.
He also asserted PTI would keep an eye on the task of delimitations and preparation of electoral lists for the local body polls and will not allow the government to rig the elections.
“PTI will emerge victorious in the upcoming elections as PML-N and PPP leaders do not serve the public except giving them hollow slogans,” he concluded.
