Former candidate for MNA seat and Punjab's Vice President of the PTI Riasat Ali Bhatti expressed his full confidence over the leadership of Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and announced to join the PML-N during the meeting.

The chief minister announced development projects worth billions of rupees for Burewala, Mailsi and Vehari and said that if the PML-N got victory in 2018 elections, then work will be started on these projects immediately for their timely completion.

He said that it is a historic public meeting in the history of Burewala as thousands of people are outside and they have been deprived of the opportunity to come inside. This big gathering of the people is witness to the fact that the political jugglers, Zardaris and the king of lies will be defeated badly in the next elections.

He said that PML-N government and Muhammad Nawaz Sharif promised to the nation four and half years earlier that load shedding will be overpowered in five years and due to our continued efforts, the load shedding is over now.

The Federal and the Punjab governments have jointly established electricity projects of thousands of megawatts capacity and completed the energy projects under the CPEC as well. During the next summer season, the rooms will be cold as fans will be blowing.

Similarly, trade and economic activities will be in full swing and agriculture sector will also be having good productivity. I advise the Niazi Sahib to stop speaking lies and take mercy on this nation and go back home because politics is beyond your capacity and potential.

This sham Khan Sahib also said that they would not go for metro bus project and the money would be spent on developing institutions like schools, colleges and hospitals. When dengue attacked Peshawar, they had no treatment arrangements and this person escaped to the mountains to avoid the dengue attack.

When dengue attacked Lahore in 2011, then we fully countered and eliminated it. Today, we have competence to deal with it as well as the treatment abilities. When dengue attacked Peshawar, we sent medical team, mobile hospitals and medicines from Punjab while Khan Sahib was found nowhere around as he went to Nathia Gali.

After four and a half years, metro bus project has been started in Peshawar now and the whole city is in shambles due to it. If Allah Almighty accorded us an opportunity, then we will complete this project.

Both Khan Sahib and Zardari Sahib could not do anything for their people in their respective provinces and therefore, they are unable to face the people, he added. The Chief Minister said that Punjab government has brought revolution in health sector.

CT scan machines are being installed in all the DHQ hospitals to provide round the clock facility. It is my promise to the people of Vehari that Agriculture University will be developed as a full-fledged university and medical college will also be setup.

Talking about different governmental steps for the development of the agriculture sector, the Chief Minister said that fertilizers are being provided at half the price jointly by federal and Punjab governments.

He asked the people to remain vigilant as PML-N government has worked hard for national development and now the people should remain active so that this hard work is not usurped upon. He said that interest-free loan program for the needy youth will be further expanded after next elections so that no one could remain unemployed.

Members of the parliament, politicians, provincial ministers and a large number of people attended the public meeting.
