'Inefficient' federal govt has failed to deliver in public interest: CM

Tsunami of price hike, unrest have pushed the poor to abject poverty, says Murad

HYDERABAD/SEHWAN: Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has said that the inefficient federal government [of PTI] has completely failed to deliver and has brought a tsunami of price hike and unrest that has pushed the poor to abject poverty by reducing employment opportunities.

This he said on Sunday while speaking at an event to mark the 12th death anniversary of former Sindh CM Syed Abdullah Shah, organised at his native village Wahur, Sehwan. Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Sindh President Nisar Khuhro, provincial cabinet members, special assistants, MNAs, MPAs, senators, PPP workers attended the programme.

He said that the federal government had no capacity to rule and added that everyone knew very well how they had been brought into power.



Murad said that people of Sindh were asking him about the launching of development works in their areas but, "I want to tell them that the inefficient federal government has failed to release Sindh government's due share from the divisional pool, therefore we are facing shortage of funds and cannot start development." The CM vowed, however, that the provincial government would start development schemes from its own resources from the next financial year.

Recalling the train march of PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, he said that out of their love and respect for the son of Shaheed Benazir Bhutto, people came to the railway stations and gave him a warm and historic welcome.

The CM said that the people of Sindh and Pakistan would bring Bilawal into power in the Centre in the next election.
