People of Punjab want a third option: Bilawal

CHINIOT: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Thursday claimed that the people of Punjab wanted a third option as both the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) were engaged in personal fights.

“There is void in Punjab which would be filled by PPP for it is a mature political party and believes in the politics of serving the people. All other parties are doing is fooling the masses,” he said while speaking to media representatives here.

He also claimed that he was receiving a warm welcome in every city of Punjab, which showed that people wanted a third option as they were not satisfied with the performance of PML-N and PTI. “They are fed up with the scuffles of the two parties and would vote for the PPP,” he added.

Bilawal said PPP had always strived for the promotion of democracy and strengthening of institutions. “After winning the elections, PPP will make an alliance with the parties that will support its manifesto,” he added.

“It is the beginning of my political career and I will continue my struggle to implement the agenda of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and Benazir Bhutto,” he said, adding the PPP, after coming to power, would provide maximum incentives to the farmers, besides ensuring heavy subsidy on various items.

PPP central leader Farhatullah Babar and divisional president Hasan Murtaza were also present on the occasion.

Later, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also led a rally, in which a large number of PPP leaders and workers participated.
