KARACHI: Foreign Minister and PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said Saturday that the next mayor of Karachi will be from Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) due to the performance of Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) and the hard work of party workers.
While addressing the party workers in Karachi, he said: “We have delivered on our promises and never took a U-turn.”
The PPP chief said the people of Karachi witnessed how quickly and efficiently development work was carried out in the city under his party’s administrator.
“The doors of the local body representatives were opened for the citizens. A world record has been set for the delay of the local body elections in Karachi,” he added.
“The entire Karachi is waiting for the elections and the candidates are tired of campaigning. The people in Karachi and Hyderabad are in desperate need of local body system.”
During the address, Bilawal also administered oath to the Local Government candidates.
He also directed the Sindh chief minister to keep the doors of the CM House open for the representatives of the local bodies after the polls as well.
He said that sending the selected packing was a victory of the die-hard (jiyalas) party workers.
Bilawal said that despite facing difficulties, the PPP saved the country in the past and would continue to save it in the future.
While taking a dig at the former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman, Bilawal said that the politics of Imran Khan has damaged the country’s economy and democracy but the PPP doesn’t believe in politics of hatred.
“The truth will prevail whenever there is contest,” he said and added we toppled Imran Khan’s government through no-confidence motion and this was the victory of the masses.
He said the country is passing through difficult period but we will steer the country out of this difficult phase.
The PPP chairman went on to say that the jiyalas will defeat Kaptan whichever constituency he would contest elections.
