Speaking at a public gatherings at Sardheri and other villages of his constituency on Wednesday he lamented that those who were repeatedly elected from this constituency had done nothing for the uplift of the area and that was why this area still lacked basic amenities.

He urged the people to cast their votes in a very careful manner and must discourage those who after getting votes from the people never bothered to ameliorate their lot.— Correspondent
