Twitter alert: ‘Raja Rental’ for prime minister?
As soon as he submitted his nomination papers, the trend “Raja Rental” emerged on Twitter. While some tweets were of a serious nature regarding the scam he was convicted for, others took up a lighter tone to criticise his nomination.
Here are a few top tweets:
Burhan ul Haq @BurhanULhaq
Amazingly, we only encountered one hour of load shedding at the office today. Raja Rental for Prime Minister! :D
WakeUpPakistan @WakeUpPak
Raja Rental trending a lot higher on twitter than Raja Pervez Ashraf. Shows the respect people of Pakistan have for the man.
Mian Abdul Hamid @Mian878
Raja Rental involved in another renting but this time its a sherwani only. ALLAH tera Shukar
Omar Waraich @OmarWaraich
Raja Rental wasn't going to win his seat anyway. A five year ban scarcely affects him.
saeed shah @SaeedShah
If the #PPP is trying to avoid controversy, why has it gone for RajaRental? He could be in court over corruption allegations soon enough
Muddassir Kasumbi @Mud_Gooner
Raja Rental is the best we can do for a summer internship at the PM house #TakeABowNation

@Concerned Citizen: if you have any proof you must go and knocked So-called Judiciary's door. we are believe that PPP is alone party who make Pakistan as Economic superpower in the world
@B.Ally: Wow. ever thought of doing standup? He is not the face of the Party, and whatever the party espouses is done through him. Unfortunately none of it is pleasant. Hence the unpleasantries. And not to mention his own dirty black hands in the power scandal.
Shame on this National Assembly who elect Raja pervaiz Ashraf as PM
@B.Ally
For God's sake, who are you trying to fool here? For all we know you could be the Raja Rental himself trying to sneak doubts in people's mind about your true charater.
Let me tell you, I belong to this man's constituency and I can assure you that he is the most hated guy in this area. He is a proven thief. Why do you think was the rental plants scheme implemented? to generate electricity? that must be the biggest joke of the decade. The only reason he has been nominated for the PMship is because he is corrupt to the core and wont dare to disobey the 'Big Boss'.
Is he not the same minister who declared the Kala Bagh dam dead and buried? And now the PPP want more Hydro power projects after their stupid plans have plunged the country into darkness.
Could there be a worse candidate?
warrr gai
If it HAS to be a graft hogger, why not Salman Butt? heard he's available...
@B.Ally: How can you have the audacity to say all that , seriously , after this person just made one of the worse blunders in the history of Pakistan . I dont get it , just dont get it , please open your eyes , everyone.
"Raja Rental" I still remember during O level times he was the most followed politician largely because of those obnoxious load-shedding timings! As the tweet says, the country should brace itself for 'Total Load-shedding'. Raja boy, you indeed are the most deserving applicant for PM's office summer internship!
P.S. Politics is at least humorous :P
Raja Rental OR Makhdoon Ephedrine?
Raja Rental is a proven incompetent "commoner". Lets, for a change, bring those people to the office who know what they are doing. Also, the current set of "parliamentarians" are, at best, local body material. They have absolutely no idea what legislation is all about and what is the function of Parliament. So, lets keep them where they belong.
Barkat Sahab, i am an optimist, but sir hats off to you.
every potohari would now be hiding since you have dropped a bombshell of his background Buhahahahha.
Raja Rental! He might rent all his cabinet from outside.
Raja Rental was not capable to hold the public office of Federal Minister for electricity, now he is been nominated to become the Prime Minister of Pakistan.
We have very few people capable to run the affairs of Pakistan honestly and diligently and Raja Rental in no way qualify to be the next Prime Minister of Pakistan.
May Al-Mighty Allah save Pakistan from all the corrupt people. Ameen.
Why we are bent on humiliating the leaders we ourselves chose. We do not know much about the background of our leaders,their education and how they conduct them with their constituents.
Most of our info comes from from shady newspapers and corrupt journalists whose media houses are nothing more than yellow press spreading sensation,anxiety and frustration. Such a press is very good at coining names so that they can sell their newspaper which is very hard thing to do these days.
Raja Pervaiz is an educated person,a law graduate and a down to earth character. He comes from a small village near Gujar Khan. He is no land aristocrat. Potohawari people are small peasants and so is he. He is like every body else in this area and nicely fits in as a commoner. Like every other Potohari he is a committed fried and his loyalty is not for sale.
Let us not ridicule a commoner and pull his leg to bring him down if he is bound to rise. He is one of us.

It seems instead of Rental prime minister " Raja Rental" PPP may end up with Kaira.
