Talking to the media the former chief minister Sindh Syed Ghous Ali Shah charged that the PPP has did nothing for the people of Khairpur and that of the larger Sindh. He said half of the population of Sindh is suffering from hepatitis due to lack of clean potable water and the PPP government in the last 10 years did not address the problem. Shah said bad governance and corruption had ruined the institutions of the country. He said the GDA is emerging as a major political alliance in Sindh against the PPP and hoped the GDA will form the government in Sindh.

About Nawaz Sharif, he said he is happy that the former prime minister has been imprisoned on charges of corruption, which proves the even-handedness of law. Shah said now the tables have turned on the former prime minister whose brother, Shahbaz Sharif has ditched Nawaz to supercede him.
