@confused: Tabdeeli is not the name of a young man ... it is the name of a concept ...
@confused: Here, he is empowered by a vision that is different from PPP, QWP and ANP, so you are being negative and at the wrong end of the term. Criticise him in 5 years time.
Now is the time for the progressive and nationalist parties to nominate joint candidates for these seats. ANP and PPP must make seat adjustments to contest against TTP endorsed and supported candidates. There is a good chance they can jointly defeat TTP prodigies.
^^ Tabdeeli is not necessarily to be brought by young generation but by the people. IK lost elections as he forgot to target the Majority youth which is resides in rural Pakistan
Angels from heaven wouldn't descend for this post. IK's choice for this post isn't too bad, rather isn't bad. Let him rule the province and he would definitely deliver.
@cofused, no wonder you'll remain confused. he was elected at different platforms, and had responsiblities and assumption of power at different levels, he left because he had differences, lota to nahi bana naaa! hari hui jamat se jeet kar aya hai!
only after reading your comment, i wikipediaed him.
In court of law; What you just did is called manipulation of facts and us usually over-ruled!
No further comments. Peace!
New, YOUNG & energetic CM of KP. Only been elected 5 times before through PPP, QWP & ANP tickets
