Many of the people know that Rasool Khan Mehsud is Associated with PTI and he is also the prime person in mismanagement of Electricity in Pakistan and he dont want to resolve the crisis as otherwise his party (PTI) will not be able to get the sympathy vote of the public. Ahmed Mukhtar should remove these political Cronies so that Ministries could work properly and Ordinary people could have a respite as well.
