PTI claimed, with much fanfare, that they will re-negotiate electricity contracts, what have they done till now?
they claimed that they will provide healthcare and education to all, that went down the crapper due to massive cuts in HEC's budget, federal universities' budgets, and the reduction in budget of hospitals plus promulgation of teaching medical institutes act (which effectively turns govt owned hospitals into private ones, thus denying healthcare to 90% of Pakistan's population). The prime idiot IK takes advice from nosherwan burki on this issue, a guy sitting in USA, and trying to implement USA's healthcare system in Pakistan, which btw is the worst system in all of developed countries.
They claimed to collect gst from all retailers, those retailers have increased prices citing this tax collection (which they do not pay), and fbr and pti have failed to collect it from them.
They also claimed to carry out an audit of industries and manufacturing units to determine right prices, which they failed to do.
As far as food security is concerned, they incentivized sugar cane growth, leading to a reduction in cotton plantation, and then exported already reduced produce of cotton, and then imported cotton to meet national demand. mis-management of the highest order.
They also talked about civil service and police reforms, which are remarkably still missing in both federal and punjab govts.
They also talked about increasing exports, and yet rising dollar rate causes expensive raw material import, and an increase in electricity cost, which causes expensive production,....... so........ the net effect of currency devaluation is just rising inflation, marginal increase in exports have been achieved, whereas huge increase in imports have been seen. Failed here as well.
I am sure i will be able to think of a few more things.
didnt pti claim that they will renegotiate the deal? to tie the payment to rupees instead of dollars? and the reduce the rate of return?
also, as the rupee keeps on falling, that price will keep on increasing. dream on that situation will get better.
