If Bilawal has to make a mark on Pakistan politics He has to come across as a leader of change, a reformer and a person who reflects the changing mood of true Pakistan. He is doomed to fail if he carries the Flag of the present PPP setup. Bilawal has to dump the old guards to succeed.
funny how it doesn't say "in the footsteps of his father"
If he can match the output of his predecessors, Pakistan is in big trouble. anytime you have to pay for busses and trains and give food, it doesn't carry the weight as if people came on their own accord.
Bilawal faces toughest competition now not only from Imran but Qadri as well so it will not be bed of roses for him to pull out as many thousands as Imran had pulled or Qadri will pull. Iqbal Hadi Zaidi
