@hanibal

The trust came when he stood with us during the worst Dengue Epidemic and the leader of revolution was in London and never entered the city till the epidemic was controlled by none other then the CM of Punjab, Shahbaz Sharif, he was there doing whatever possible on war-grounds to eliminate it… IK was in London i guess, putting out his book, which has map of Pakistan showing Kashmir part of India…

the worst floods of 2010, our CM Shahbaz Sharif again was on ground with affected people doing whatever possible and he delivered again, Punjab is the only province which managed to re-locate the affected people and built model villages with help of Turkey and Saudi, and where was leader of Change, getting donation collected and saying that he would be sending alot of supplies and medicines to affected areas and shall be building the model villages, on this note, as per his own claim, he was able to collect Rs 2 billion… so far, no one have seen any model villages and the 700 truck carvan has yet to reach any affected area…

People remember who stood with them in their worst times and who ran away to meet his kids in UK

BTW, Yazdi was PTI supporter and not an aira ghair arm chair warrior, he personally met IK and was persuaded to join PTI by IK after the Lahore Jalsa… he did join them and i believe he have provided/helped IK to collect big donations from the business community through his own influence… till the election 2013, he was very much supporter of IK and PTI… one year down the road, I see him criticizing PTI… food for thought…

I still have no problem with PTI and Imran Khan.. and wish them well.

I know Imran Khan has no credibility problem. He is a simple man. I know the total electricity bill of IK residence is 26,000 rupees (he runs air conditioner at night for only 4 hours). I know he has a mali-cook whose culinary expertise can only be appreciated by IK. He has one sandal and wears worn out clothes. This guy is not driven by financial gains.

Having said that.. there is no need to follow him like a cult leader. He is a human with shortcomings. He is not a very intelligent man. He likes to be surrounded by low calibre khushamdis.

PTI was beaten fair and square in elections. PTI could not largely attract the low income youth in Pakistan to become their voters. If I was IK I would immediately start doing my gap analysis and see what’s wrong. Instead he has resorted to blame game and he is trying to become a petty opportunist trying to get cosy with army establishment and getting used by them. A real leader derives his power from the people and not from the military generals.

Imran Khan faces a stiff competition from Punjab from Shahbaz Sharif and MQM in Karachi. Both of them have roots amongst the poor masses and they are very well connected with them. Shahbaz sharif is a hands on CM who has a track record of getting work done. From sanitation to road infra structure.. from education to health services. Some of my friends run large government contracting companies in Pakistan. They tell me there is practically zero corruption in Punjab government as far as these construction contracts are awarded. Shahbaz Sharif not only makes sure that these contracts are awarded without commissions, his follow up is also immaculate.

With the change of government last year, new doors of opportunities have opened for Pakistan. China has sanctioned 32 billion dollars for Pakistan specific infra structure projects and placed this amount with Exim Bank. It is up to the federal and provincial governments to utilize this amount for much need infra structure development in Pakistan. There are at least 4 or 5 coal based power projects in pipe line from this sanctioned loan in Punjab. Punjab government has already started Orange Metro Line in Lahore from this Exim Bank loan. what has KP government done so far.. a big zero.. This 32 billion dollars if spent can be a game changer for Pakistan.

PTI must work on their execution capacity instead of wasting time on dharnas and agitations. The more they will criticize the good work of Punjab government.. the more people will stop taking them seriously. We have seen this when they criticized the Metro Bus project in Lahore. The poor masses who use this facility did not vote for PTI in Lahore where they were confined to Model Town and Defense only..
