DADU: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf leader Liaquat Ali Jatoi has said Pakistan Peoples Party’s candidates are facing people’s wrath because of broken promises and peoples’ resentment with Asif Ali Zardari.

Even the PPP MNA who had secured 110,000 votes in general election 2013 had preferred not to be seen in public during his own election drive, said Mr Jatoi at a public gathering in Sita Road Town on Sunday.

He said that many PPP candidates who had promised voters to have solar plates and hand pumps installed in their areas but disappeared soon after winning the seat were now afraid of visiting their constituencies.

He said that health cards would be issued to the poor after PTI came to power. The card would be useful for payment of health bill amounting to Rs500,000, he said.

He said the PTI government would also introduce farmer card to boost agriculture sector in the province and continue Benazir Income Support Programme with substantial raise in the amount and a slight change in the payment mode. The beneficiaries would get cheques delivered at their home addresses, he said.

Mr Jatoi said that people of Dadu were ready to bring change by casting vote for PTI candidates. The PPP rulers who had destroyed Dadu district over the past 10 years by embezzling development schemes budget would be held accountable after general election, he said.

He said that every jobless person in Sindh would get job after PTI chairman Imran Khan became prime minister.

PTI candidates for PS-83 and PS-84 Ehsan Jatoi and Sadaqat Ali Jatoi, Dr Talat Mahesar, Syed Zaffar Ali Shah, Sardar Ashiq Ali Zour, Dr Bandah Leghari, Dr Nazeer Ashraf Leghari and Dr Khalil Ahmed Khunharo also spoke at the public gathering.

Meanwhile, tribal chieftain of Sodhars and PPP leader Dr Rashid Mumtaz Sodhar announced joining PTI on the occasion along with his tribesmen and supporters.
