Punjab Governor Rafiq Ahmad Rajwana Saturday said that first and second phase of local bodies polls resulted in defeat to political rivals of PML-N, saying that it was an expression of trust by the people on the policies of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
The governor said this while addressing a ceremony after inauguration of Multan-Khanewal section of M-4 Motorway by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif in Khanewal.
Rajwana expressed happiness over completion of the project and thanked Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for continuing a ceaseless process of development focusing all parts of the country including the South Punjab.
The governor praised the prime minister for his passion to serve the people and his desire to upgrade infrastructure which he believed would help people share fruit of development and improve business activity.
He said that Multan-Khanewal section of Motorway is fifth project he personally witnessed the prime minister inaugurating or breaking ground during last two months. These projects also include those meant for power generation and shows commitment of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to overpower problem confronting the country in all sectors, he added.
He said that after triumph in 2013 general elections, people have again reposed trust in the PML-N government by giving majority support to the party against its rivals in first and second phase of local bodies elections.
Rajwana recalled the country was facing enormous challenges when the PML-N government took charge. However, the leadership qualities of the Prime Minister put the country on the right track on way to overpowering the challenges gradually.
He said the PML-N government was taking special interest in uplifting health, education and other sector in South Punjab. He, however, added that the area still needs more funding for development. He said proposals for more development schemes would be sent to the government for South Punjab uplift and hoped that the process of development would continue to benefit the people.
