Fair enough.

About bold part of your comments, what do you mean had priorities and PTI govt was able to save money? Does that mean that tackled all other issues of the province like health, education and IDPs before turning to this Jungla bus project?

Things will make sense if you dont compare KPK with Punjab. PTI got hold of KPK just 1.5 years ago. KPK has had long existing problems Punjab has never had, like afghan refugees, FATA next door and terrorism…and then some that punjab has too…eg, drugs, corruption and bad governance. After all this, there are certain things you cant help give credit to PTI govt for. Health, education and law and order have shown marked improvements, and corruption has gone down. Infrastructure projects are being built based on necessity, not political ambitions.

The Lahore metro green line was built in the last year of previous govt, solely for votes. All other lines are going through ‘feasibility studies’ even after 18 months. I believe the next Lahore metro route is planned for the last year of this term,again timed for elections.
