Do you not see faults and criminally flawed policy as yet? As I mentioned before, 100,000 are poor and hungry and Shahbaz would fee 100 out of those in 5 Star to show-off and get news-coverage that see how well I feed the poor. .
Sasti roti was yet another flawed project just like this metro buss service and that was unsustainable by design. Its just like you having 300 rupee for your 30 days budget and your budget allows you to spend 10 every day but you spending 40 rupee every day because you could show-off that way. Its simple, you will run out of your resources and then for 20 days there will be NOTHING to live on. Punjab lost more than 200 Billion Rupee because of this flawed project that couldn't run more than 2.5 years. Here in Australia, Sustainability is essential subject which even accountants study and look at this leader who may never have heard what sustainability means. And here are some personality lovers who will accept every crime, every ill-intended scheme in the name of supporting a clan. Leaders are less than leaders alas but even more alas that their followers are less than thinkers.
Regarding Transparency International, I would wait to see their reports after this government's tenure is over. They are a non-governmental organization and their opinions are as good as yours or mine. If they allege, you don't become convicted and if they clear you off, you are not acquitted. I wonder if your mind is convinced the other way around?
Coming to 52% figure, I take my words back. These figures were probably about number of ghost schools in Punjab but I need my reference to confirm.
Danish schools is not the only thing Punjab govt did in 5 years. The District teaching system has been introduced and the attendance of students and teachers have been doubled!!! This is some progress !!!
