"The PML-N deliberately ignored Southern Punjab as half of the provincial budget was spent on Lahore projects," he said. Khan accused the Shehbaz Sharif administration of getting kickbacks in the multi-billion-dollar Metro Bus projects in Lahore and Multan.
"Metro service was launched by Sharifs to get commission and kickbacks and they sent the money abroad," he said. "Shehbaz Sharif launched Multan Metro Bus but the people don't need it. They want solution to their problems." He added that 'empty busses' plying the roads are a loss to national exchequer.
Urging his supporters to vote for PTI, Khan said his party would introduce the best system of governance. "Vote for the 'Bat' and vote for the ideology. PTI will succeed on July 25. It will be the biggest election battle in the country's history," Imran Khan said.
He stated that the masses would vote PTI into power to ensure the rule of law in the country for national development and prosperity and for the ruthless accountability of all the corrupt politicians. He said his party's victory would end the generation-to-generation rule of the corrupt politicians and their families in Pakistan. He said the PTI would develop the country so as envisaged by the Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

He said Nawaz Sharif and his family had plundered Rs300 billion from national exchequer. He said that they were the national thieves who plundered Rs300 billion but they were not the national heroes.
He said that now the Pakistani nation was politically mature and it should have pelted Nawaz with stones and dirty eggs upon his arrival in the country instead of according a welcome for him. He said there was no space for the corrupt rulers and politicians in Pakistan who ruthlessly plundered the national exchequer with the help of even their children.
