SADIQABAD - Criticising one another, political leaders of the PTI and PPP claimed popularity among the public, saying that their party candidates would get landslide in the forthcoming general elections.

Talking to the media, PTI leader Sardar Shafiq Leghari said that his party would eliminate corruption from the society after coming to power. He said that if the public do not made appropriate decision regarding casting their votes, the generations to come would bear the brunt of what he said the mistake. 
He added that the incumbent rulers were looting the country under the guise of policy of reconciliation. However, he added, Imran Khan had rolled over his sleeves to save the country.
“The PPP and the PML-N had made the country void. If even today we do not use our right to vote in a proper way to elect honest and sincere leadership so as to change the fate of the country, the generation to come will not forgive us,” he said. “Dearness and unemployment are ruling the roost in the country.”
He said that the people wanted change as the country is faced with electricity, gas and water crises while everyday increase in the petroleum products was an evidence of incapability of the government.
On the other side, PPP Rahim Yar Khan office-bearers said that the opponents were getting confused because of what they said their party’s popularity as well as its sure victory in the forthcoming general election. They said that the PTI had nothing except slogans. However, the PPP was practically serving the people, affirmed district vice president Muhammad Asif, secretary general Muhammad Din, Nadeem Afzal, Rana Arshad Javed, Habibur Rehman and Mehmoodul Hasan while talking to the party workers. They said that their leadership was promoting the policy of reconciliation and running the government in collaboration with the coalition parties. They were of the view that because of their party’s “positive” policies, the country was making progress. They maintained that the government was making an all-out effort to eliminate loadshedding, unemployment and dearness.
They said the opposition parties were spreading disinformation about and levelling fake allegations on party leadership. Even then, they claimed, the PPP would get victory in the elections and form government in the centre and all the provinces as well.
