PTI to clean sweep next general elections: KP CM

Pins high hopes on mega projects in KP

NOWSHERA: Chief Minister Pervez Khattak has hoped that people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will vote wholeheartedly for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to power again in the next election due to its performance.

He said this while speaking at a function arranged here on Sunday to give the Category-D Hospital status to Rural Health Centre in Ziarat Kaka Sahib and addressing a reception hosted at the residence of Niaz Ali Khattak at Peetau.

Minister for Excise and Taxation Mian Jamsheduddin, District Nazmi Liaquat Khan Khattak, Malik Abrar, Ahad Khattak and others were also present on the occasions.

The chief minister said the people put trust in the PTI in the 2013 general elections by voting the party to power. He hoped the party would clean sweep the next elections in year 2018 by winning 70 provincial assembly seats.

“The change does not mean a mere construction of roads, hospitals and mega projects but change of system and strengthening of state institutions,” Pervez Khattak stressed.

The chief minister said the PTI’s motto was to restore the self-respect of the poor people and ensure justice to the people at their doorsteps and PTI Chairman Imran Khan was working towards that end.

Pervez Khattak said agreements with the federal government on the longstanding demands of the province were a good omen and would lead to a new phase of development in the province.

He said that the provision of net hydel power profit, generating cheap electricity from additional natural gas, funds for Chashma Right Bank Canal, Munda Dam and Pehur High Level Canal projects would bring about a green revolution in the province. These projects, he added, would end unemployment in the province.

Of the intra-party elections, the chief minister said that the process has been launched as the party chairman believed in democracy within the party. He urged the people to elect honest educated people as party office-bearers.

Pervez Khattak said he wanted all the areas of Khyber Pakhtunhwa developed without any discrimination. He said Peshawar would soon have own public transport system similar to Metro Bus Service of Punjab. The chief minister said the government had ended political interference in the Police Department, made changes to the Revenue Department and improved other departments in the last two and a half years.
