Chitral: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari urged veteran leaders of opposition parties to step aside, asserting that they failed to address the public's concerns during their tenures as prime ministers.
Bilawal emphasized the need for fresh, young leadership to tackle the country's issues, claiming that the people's rule would be established after the upcoming February 8 General Election.
Addressing the convention, Bilawal expressed disappointment in the opposition leaders, particularly in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), and stated that the masses in KP were now turning to the PPP for solutions to their problems. He asserted that those political parties that had been in power for nearly a decade in KP without delivering results would face rejection from the people.
چترال کے عوام کا شکریہ، انشاء ﷲ آپ کی طاقت سے ہم عوامی راج قائم کریں گے اور اٹھارویں ترمیم پر علمدرآمد کرتے ہوئے وفاق میں موجود غیر ضروری وزارتیں صوبوں کو منتقل کریں گے جس سے 100 ارب روپیہ بچایا جاسکے گا جو عوام پر خرچ ہوگا، میرا آپ سے وعدہ ہے چترال میں دل کا اسپتال بنائیں گے،… pic.twitter.com/tNVxO89EQY

Bilawal criticized a Punjab-based political party for contributing to a price hike that adversely affected the lives of the common man. He attributed the country's suffering to the confrontational and hate-based politics of two opposition parties, emphasizing that people desired employment over agitation.
Highlighting the progress in Sindh province under PPP's policies, Bilawal called for the full implementation of the 18th Constitutional amendment and the fair distribution of National Finance Commission (NFC) shares to provinces.
Expressing concern for the people of Chitral, Bilawal promised that their issues would be addressed once the PPP comes into power. The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has scheduled general elections for February 8, 2024, following a Supreme Court order.
