PPP says 100-day plan will meet the fate of 90-day plan

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) sees the 100 days plan of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as wish list which will meet the same fate as the 90 days plan.

"Let us go back five years to the time Imran Khan had promised a 90 days overhaul plan and had pledged to convert the Chief Minister House and the Governor House into public libraries and to reform health, education and justice system and to eliminate corruption," said Central Information Secretary Dr Nafisa Shah, in a reaction to the PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s 100-day plan. Dr Nafisa Shah said that the 90-day plan did not happen, while six ministers, one special assistant and one adviser to the chief minister were allotted official residences.

"After a lapse of 1,825 days, there is no sign of a nayi university or naya hospital in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa," she said.

However, she said, they have demolished the historical city of Peshawar and reduced it to rubble to make a BRT system which has now become a scandal. She said the cost escalation of BRT from Rs50 billion to Rs80 billion in a matter of three years is itself a demonstration of how unplanned, ad hoc and corrupt their governance is in KP. "It is a matter of fact that the Chief Justice of Pakistan told KP CM ‘your govt claims to have done a lot but we have seen nothing on the ground’.” She said it was also a matter of fact that KP chief secretary admitted before the Supreme Court that there are over 1,100 places in the city where solid waste is thrown directly into canals. Dr Nafisa Shah said today Pakistan has two leaders that are greedy for power. "One is Nawaz Sharif who wants to battle with the aliens in outer space. The other is Imran Khan who thinks he has a magic wand that will bring us rivers of milk and honey." She said if Imran Khan's dream team for implementation of 100 days plan are the 101 turncoats he has accumulated from different parties, then we can only expect 100 U-turns from PTI, but no turnaround for the country.
