But they did. Tariq Bashir Cheema, Monis Elahi (I hope you remember the blackmail of Q league to get him appointed), Khusro Bakhtiar, Amin-Ul-Haq, Ghulam Sarwar, and the list goes on. All these people had to be appointed precisely due to the sham of paraliamentary democracy in this country and a coalition government.
Please enumerate those MAJOR steps. He tried to bring in people. He brought in Raza Baqir, and you know the backlash he got. He brought in the health minister, and you see the backlash. A personal story I know, he brought in Amer Hashmi for STZA, and the kind of backlash that guy got is unbelievable. There is a reason STZA is operating from PM Sectt and is in direct contact with PS to PM and not to any other two nut secretary or bureaucrat.
This is my biggest gripe with people. Whoever thought keh in 5 salon main sab theek ho jaye ga, and we will be on the fast track to progress, they are in a fool's paradise, aur ghalti unhi ki hai to believe all that.
The reality of our politics is that when you go to a jalsa in Okara or Jhang or Bajaur or Khairpur, you don't need to tell those guys a detailed economic plan or whatever. You make bold claims, which you yourself know won't be completed. But that is what sells to the uneducated masses. They want the blockbuster headlines, hard hitting punches, main dolat wapis laoon ga, main yeh karoon ga, woh karoon ga. But any rational person knows keh yeh sab nhn hoga and this is only for pre-election campaigning. He is promising 100%, but any sane person knows it would 30%. It is your fault if you actually believed that everything would be done, like crore naukrian and all that.
But at least he has stepped into the right direction. Housing loans and mortgages, sehat card, increasing our industrial base, creation of dams, economic stability, emphasis on exports, and much more.
Coming onto the electables, these people are waderas of their towns and villages. They are used to having 1000 people talk to them as if they are God, and have a certain ego. When in government, you need to placate their egos. PML did this very well, they gave them bribes, contracts, jobs in SOE's, or a front row seat in a press conference. PTI did not, it didn't soothe their egos, didn't pamper their childish tantrums, and here we are. I was listening to an MNA from South Punjab, and his gripe was that the police does not listen to him (i.e. does not treat him as the absolute God of the area), and the south Punjab sectt is not fully functional. At least PTI made a south Punjab sectt, unlike PPP and PML who are actively blocking the creation of a province.
Anyways, at the end, he is still waaayyyy better than Billo or JUI or PML, that's for sure.
I believe now in next election he will go for the PTI worker, but question is, will he win with them?
I don't have high hopes from the good people of this country, and that is why he won't.
People of Gujrat keep on electing Pervez Elahi and Monis Elahi, that tells you all you need to know.
