The elaborate plan includes few of the most impending matters that many governments have not been able to delive
FAISALABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf has announced its plan for the first 100 days of its government, as the party is apparently a bit over-optimistic about making the next government with a clean sweep victory in the upcoming general elections. The elaborate plan includes few of the most impending matters that many governments have not been able to deliver on, for instance, Fata’s merger with the province of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and a separate southern Punjab province.
However, the PTI’s agenda for the first 100 days is not clear about the reforms the party would want to or should bring about on its own. Rather it primarily focuses on the agendas that had not been fulfilled by other political parties, most important ones being the Fata issue and separate provinces. Apart from the rhetorical statements implying improved infrastructure and better living condition for the poor, the agenda does not offer much in substance. Neither does it provide a thorough comparison of development in K-P post the 2013 elections when the party formed its provincial government for five years.
