ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan highlighted on Wednesday the ‘achievements’ of his party-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
In a series of tweets, the PTI chief shared that the provincial government’s priority was “poverty alleviation not simply showcase mega roads’ projects”.
Listing the initiatives of the party that helped achieve poverty reduction, Khan said that the government’s merit based recruitment, better public schools, reformed health service in government hospitals and health cards for poor helped achieve the target.
Moreover, he credited the government’s micro-hydel projects in remote areas, “that provide cheap electricity”, the party’s billion tree tsunami project which provides jobs to locals and a de-politicised police force which has created a secure environment and attracted investment in the province.
It is the success of a holistic people-centric approach by the PTI government that has led to a reduction of poverty in the province, concluded Khan.
