Is Zardari's completely original one-govt-job-per-family promise worth a vote?

E-Paper | March 06, 2026

PPP co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari has vowed that he would give at least one government job to every family if he gets the power he so badly needs in the upcoming polls.

That's not it. The master politician promised a whole list of projects he would initiate, ranging from dams, healthcare and whatnot — all those good things basically that make the voter go weak in the knees.

We will also work on a project of generating electricity with sewage — Zardari

Brilliant stuff! I'm sold.

But for some reason, not everyone seems to trust Mr Zardari.

What about you?

What was he doing in his previous tenure. Nothing! Just land grabbing and building properties, looting national money, promoting bhatta groups and mafias, creating hatred and messing with Karachi

Give a job to at least one from each family and turn all departments and concerns into PIA. Shameless leaders.
