Rawalpindi-Mayor Rawalpindi Sardar Nasim Khan vowed to come back again in power by winning the next local bodies elections from the platform of PML-N with thumping majority.
Addressing the last session of the Rawalpindi Municipal Corporation on Tuesday, he said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif will come back home next year and in this regard, the party workers should work hard to win the next local government and general elections.
He said he has asked the workers and leaders to prepare for the election as PTI is not able to win in Punjab due to its bad policies.
He said that all the union council chairmen must be ready for general elections. “Inflation, rising prices of petrol and edibles make the people angry and PML-N government will come to power and put the economic in right direction,” he said. 
He said that he was grateful to his party, the PML-N, as it had always rewarded him with high positions and provided him opportunity to serve the city as mayor. Sardar Nasim said though we were only allowed to work for last two years, yet we tried best to deliver and serve the masses.
The mayor said that the elected house approved development schemes of Rs2.31 billion for the development of the garrison city but Punjab government did not allow to do more than eight percent work.  
“Despite all odds, we managed to allocate Rs80 million for graveyards. Rs20 million were spent on the purchasing of funeral buses,” he said. 
He said that the ministers and members of the assembly from Rawalpindi want to take credit for the projects so that they can enter the upcoming local body elections in disguise once again. He reiterated his commitment that the next local body elections would be a clear victory for PML-N and a new era of development would begin in Rawalpindi.
While criticising the PTI government, Chairman Union Council Azhar Iqbal Satti said that the PTI government could not complete its term in the municipal corporation and announced full cooperation with the mayor of PML-N.
On this occasion, PML-N union council offered Azhar Iqbal Satti to join PML-N and he said that he would consider it.
Meanwhile, Rawalpindi Municipal Corporation Rawalpindi gave approval of five parking contracts worth Rs219 million which had been rejected in last session in November. 
In last session, the elected house of the corporation had also approved the removal of parking points from the gazette notification by stopping the collection of parking fees at six densely populated parking points. 
The mayor also laid the foundation stone of Jinnah Hall of the local body assembly. He also imposed ban on the vendors to install stalls and pushcarts along Murree Road from Faizabad to Marrir Hassan Chowk. “I order the RMC to remove encroachments from Murree Road immediately,” he said.
