Re: Battle for Lahore.
At the moment PML N is enjoying a big popularity surge. People have started believing that if PMLN comes to power they will solve Punjab problems specially related to energy crisis. Army has also started signaling their favor for next PMLN led government. I don’t think PMLN will be interested in delaying elections to lose on their present popularity surge.
PTI on the other hand is rapidly coming down after a popularity surge last year-early this year. They have lost big time in their strategy by not posturing against terrorism. Moreover they left criticism of Zardari led PPP government exclusively for PMLN. Their newly found love for Altaf Hussain also did not go well with a lot of people. Boycotting all the bye elections proved a disaster for their political strategy. Moreover army is fed up of their criticism for military initiative against terrorists specially when they are being attacked on dialy basis. They have lost their initiative in KPK also. If the elections are held today probably they are not in a position to win more than 10-15 seats.
If elections don’t get delayed.. PMLN is all set to lead the next coalition government with 100/+ seats.
