ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on Wednesday implied that his government would return to power following the 2018 election. He was addressing a public meeting in Chitral when, in a departure from the PML-N's familiar refrain that most major road and power projects announced by the government would be completed by 2018, Nawaz told the gathering: "Some of these projects will be finished by 2018."
"Those that aren't will hopefully be completed after 2018," he said, quickly adding: "And we will be the ones to complete them...because we believe in serving the people... And Nawaz Sharif never makes an announcement that he cannot fulfil."
"Today I am only here to see the Lowari tunnel," the premier said. "This project should have been completed some time during the last three to four years," he said, adding that it had been underway for about 55 years.
"It will be complete by June 2017," Nawaz said in a shift from his earlier proclamation that he would "inaugurate the project in December 2016 at all costs".
"From your applause, your affection and your loyalty, I can tell that you love me as much as I love you," he told the gathering.
The prime minister took a moment out of his speech to issue what appeared to be a rejoinder to Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan who a day earlier announced a public march towards Raiwind on September 24. Imran had said that the public march was going to be an important undertaking because Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif "is accused of corruption...an allegation that was revealed through the Panama Papers".
"I don't reply to those who make contentious statements on TV, or even take notice of such statements," the prime minister said.
"I can only pray that God guides them," he said to a smattering of laughter.
"Why are you laughing?" he asked his audience. "Praying for guidance is a good thing... I hope God guides them to work with us for the country's progress."
During the gathering, President PML-N Chitral thanked the prime minister for his attention towards the region's development, Radio Pakistan reported.
During his visit, the prime minister announced and inaugurated several development projects, including a broadband sustainable development project for Chitral and Shangla, and the expansion and repair of the 25-kilometre-long Bon Bozand Torkho highway.
"Lots of universities will be built here," Nawaz said. "We are spending Rs17 billion on roads [in Chitral]; they will not be less than motorways. You can call them motorways if you like," he said.

Like completing the new ISB Airport. No more load shedding: no internal security strife; clean water for everyone; excellent schools and medical facilities in the country!?
Ok, Got it. J
Just in the two years - which no one could do in the past 70 years!? Excellent!!!

Love him or hate - even the die hard supporters of PTI (like my brother) admit that the opposition's priorities are totally off the chart. Pakistanis like flashy, shiny things like Metro and Motorway and after years of unrest are now craving for some form of stability. PMLN is utilizing these sentiments quite well and unless things go DRASTICALLY wrong for them I see them returning to power in 2018. The only question for me is - Would PTI be able to retain KP? Their performance is certainly better than Sindh government but the alliance of PMLN-JUI and ANP can turn the tables around

Now they are suggesting and projecting some projects may not finish till 2018. On the other hand, some motorways were completed, I give them that, Than came the Metro buses, I give them credit for that too, but mind you, if you have seen the bus stations(waiting areas) all of them require a lot of electricity, those escalators don't run on hope. I'm not a political person, never have been but I have realized that I must voice my concerns when political elite take people of Pakistan on a false hope journey.

Numbers, facts and arguments have no limit and I can't indulge myself with negativity and pessimism.
Anyways thanks for the response.
By the way just for knowledge check what was last year's Pia revenue and even before 2013 and then compare it with last qtr.
Gawadar was always WIP but at the same time only got active when PMLN pushed, otherwise you are right it was always stagnant.
Electricity: Could you please check how many hours of load shedding was happening in 2013 and prior to that and how much is now and please do give them a margin of being Pakistani politician. We are not living in a world full of pious people.

@Hatim politicians across the border are the same.
It is not 'because' but 'inspite' of them trying to keep filling there greed. Countries move on and progress because of the common man who wants to ensure a better future for their kids.

NS gov is interested in mega projects so they can get millions in bribes. they are not interested in education and health care as it is much more difficult to skim billions in corruption.
If Pakistani elect themagain in spite of this mega corruption then there is no future for Pakistani

It would be very difficult to perform as bad as the PPP government. They were completely inept at just about everything they done.
In the end they gave up any pretense of running the country, and just ensured the support of the Sindh wadheras so that they were nto completely wiped out.
However beating the performance of the PPP is still not very good.
There seems to be no concrete plans to solve the issue of poor human capital, economic stagnation, illiteracy, health.
The only solid plans this government has is for motorways , metros and a few power plants and taking out huge foreign loans.
This will not improve things. Things cannot go on as they are.

@Iqbal rangoonwala Sir, one thing Mr. Sharif is good at divide and rule. He knows the opposition is not united and he is good at using divisionary tactics. In a democracy all you need is 50% + 1 vote to get elected.

@Tariq Amir The main problem is that the elections are rigged and engineered and do not represent the true mandate of the people of Pakistan for the party which comes in to power.
The political system which oversees elections and governance needs to be corrected first, so that democracy flourishes in the country in its true essence, free from corruption and fraud.

@Sarah Usman : "This is sure. Pakistan's financial has been given positive outlook by international countries and agencies, best now considered best asia markets, many new companies are coming, stock exchange broke all records, terrorism eradication, peace restored in Karachi, Tax achivements and first time in teh history acahived tax targets, PIA performing well, railways now amongst best, national banks are much better, roads, mass transits and ABOVE all sober and decent leadership. We should also not forget his history making decision of appointing Raheel sharif and even PTI admires P.Ms decision. Best PM Pakistan ever had."
Absolutely True. In my humble opinion Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will most definitely all Programs that have and also those which are being taken up.

If people want to keep befooling themselves, their condition will not change with mere promises of future. Just look at their performance and compare it with what they had promised. Analyse impartially what is their contribution for the State and citizens of Pakistan. They cannot and will not change their habits. People must change their's for the sake of their next generations. Take your future in your own hands and prove your responsibility to yourself in order to improve your lives.

@akram Do you guys know what people are paying for power in Pakistan, and where these bills are going to go with these expensive projects - only higher. Running only a couple of AC units can cost you more than your rent in most big cities in the summer months. Costs have easily doubled in the last 5 years, and still the circular debt keeps on mounting.

@Rehan That's a great list, but are you talking about Pakistan? None of these political parties will ever achieve any of it, for one reason, you have to be educated to promote education, second, you have to be a visionary and top notch planner, unfortunately, our leaders are non of the above, and I'm not trying to mock them, look around, most every big project has been ill planned, I'll leave it to that.
