The Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) provincial government is committed to providing free solar energy to the poor people and promote solar parks under public-private partnership mode, said PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari unveiling a priority roadmap for his party's provincial government in Sindh.
Outlining the key objectives for the Sindh government's current five-year term, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari emphasised the following priorities: the implementation of solar energy initiatives, the welfare of labourers, improvements in education, the promotion of public-private partnerships in the mines and minerals sector, the provision of modern and affordable transport facilities, enhancing law and order, the rehabilitation of flood victims, and the immediate allocation of residential plot ownership rights to women from flood-affected families.
The PPP chairman urged provincial ministers and legislators to maintain constant engagement with the public, empathise with their struggles, and amplify their voices.
Addressing the current political situation, Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari expressed that the public is weary of the ongoing politics of hatred and division in Islamabad, noting widespread national disillusionment with such divisive tactics.
Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, at a Provincial Parliamentary Party meeting, urged provincial ministers and legislators to address the province's issues and boost development efforts. Highlighting PPP's historic victory, he stressed the need for hard work to meet public expectations. He called on MPAs to attend the House regularly, stay in touch with their constituents, and support them in times of need, asserting that genuine connection, not just big projects, garners support.
PPP chairman urged his MPAs to end the politics of transfer-postings, advocating for merit-based appointments and transfers to improve government performance. He emphasized the need for ministers and legislators to monitor officers' performance to enhance service delivery. Highlighting the negative impact of infighting within the party on governance, Bhutto Zardari stressed the importance of teamwork and serving the poor. He shared a five-year plan with the Sindh Chief Minister, prioritizing free electricity through solar power and developing green solar parks via public-private partnerships. Addressing the education sector, he noted that 50% of schools in Sindh were damaged by floods, with the provincial government allocating funds for reconstruction and hopes for federal support.
Bilawal emphasised the need to prioritise addressing the problems faced by our people. "Why should we concern ourselves with what Imran Khan is doing?" he questioned. "He has his own legal matters to address." He highlighted that people are growing increasingly disillusioned with the politics of hatred and division prevailing in Islamabad.
Chairman Bilawal extended his appreciation to PPP Women Wing Central President and MPA Faryal Talpur for her consistent engagement with party workers across Sindh.
