The PML-N lawmaker Rushad Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said that the success of PML-N in Chakwal was possible as the party had set a new example of public service in four and half years and fulfilled all the promises made with people whether it was elimination of load-shedding, crushing of terrorism, brought economic stability, established network of motorways and highways besides improvement of railways system and restoring of peace in KPK, FATA and Karachi.
Rushad Khan said that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa wanted solution of their problems and wanted answers from PTI Chief Imran Khan who had wasted four and half years in agitation politics. He said that the PTI has failed to address peoples’ problems and masses continued to suffer in hospitals besides increase of unemployment in the province.
