SWAT - Adviser to Prime Minister Engineer Amir Muqam has said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) will win Local Government elections with thumbing majority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
He was addressing a gathering of party workers and supporters here at Puran House Sangota on Saturday. He said, "Only PML-N will take out country from the current crisis and after getting power in local bodies' elections, we will serve the public from grass root level." Criticising PTI government, Muqam said that PTI claims that they introduced merit and justice in the system of governance, which was proved wrong and after two years performance, they have done nothing for the people of province. Government is not servant of a political party but it is answerable to general people for its performance and it should not be the role of any party to claim the steps of government, when load shedding duration decreases in the province due to increases of power generation, PTI government claims its credit but when load shedding duration increases than they blames federal government, which is not maturity in politics, Muqam added. He further went on saying that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will visit Swat next month to inaugurate the kidney hospital and other several development projects for district Swat.
