BB is receiving pretty pathetic turnouts now in interior Sindh, and now Nawaz is experiencing the same problem in Punjab.
Internal differences behind PML-N’s poor show
The poorly attended public gathering of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Chief Nawaz Sharif at Qila Kuhna Qasim Bagh on Monday speaks volume of ineffectiveness of local leaders as well as people’s indifference towards electioneering. Local political analysts expected a large turnout at Mr Sharif’s meeting, as his previous meetings in Multan have been blockbusters. But conflicts among local leaders over polls ticket distribution de-motivated workers who in turn showed no interest in mobilising the public for the meeting. Babu Nafees Ahmed Ansari, former member of the Punjab Assembly (MPA), said the party did not arrange any meeting for public mobilisation or other arrangements ahead of Mr Sharif’s tour to the city. He said even though he was the district general secretary of the PLM-N, he came to know about the plan two days ahead of the visit.
He said that city and district presidents of the party as well as candidates were responsible for the poor show as they kept the news only with themselves. Rafiq Rajwana, PML-N provincial senior vice president, however, said that he was satisfied with the number of participants as the meeting had been arranged on a short notice. He said that tickets were distributed against the wishes of workers and he had informed Mr Sharif about the situation when Mr Sharif visited his home to condole the death of his brother and brother-in-law. He said that Mr Sharif said decisions regarding candidatures had been made but the people victimized by these decisions should support the PLM-N candidates and the party would compensate them in the future. Allah Nawaz Durrani, PML-N district president, said he had suggested that the party either organised a public gathering or a welcome procession. But the party held both activities and people who attended the welcome procession did not participate in the public gathering. He said all tickets were distributed on merit. As party leaders are busy in mudslinging, Rashid Rehman, Human Right Task Force coordinator, sees public indifference in political activities because of a few families’ hegemony on politics. He said that political parties had become private limited companies and all politicians their shareholders and only shareholder could invest in the business for profits.

^ they are still doing better than your MQM and PML-Q. I have yet to see any rally by your beloved parties, perhaps they are cofident to rig, gunda gardi, batta khori and killings of innocent people to win the elections.

Some people can never come out of their narrow minded world where they see everyone and everything through their prism of ethnicities. Nawaz Sharif has played the Punjabi card in 1988 with the aid of Gen Hameed Gul who now stands next to Imran Khan as his mentor. Now that the Chaudhry's have proven their Punjabiath and delivered, NS is having serious problems in establishing his credentials. One other thing that NS misses is his support that he derived from the agencies, now they have others to support.
Tinda Sharif may have implanted new hair but that has not generated new much needed brain cells. Maybe he should take some lessons from Chaudhry Aitezaz on how to offer personal scarifices rather than take the first plane out of a problem and eat murgh cholay.

BB and NS have had two goes each at running the country. People of Pakistan are no fools. They can see through their false promises, and hence PPP and PML (N) no longer getting the crowds they got in the past.

I think Gunja's governorship in the eighties helped him immensely in the 88 elections. He got free exposure to people..
Re: Internal differences behind PML- Nawaz’s poor show
yes that is quite true. Also neither Nawaz or BB are getting such large turnouts now because people are well aware of their past failures as Prime Ministers, and the fact both trust foreign powers more than the people to get them into power.

NS is history. BB and PPP will be history after the elctions. The infighting in PPP and lack of support as compared to the past for PPP shows people will not be fooled by her again.
