But people are happy that this corrupt party has got a dalit Hindu lady elected on general seat in senate elections so everything else is fine.

Karachi should have been the first city in Pakistan to initiate these projects, fact they should have had by now metro subway, and metro buses since it has the largest city population, apart from that clean water supply is in dire straits, sad state of affairs.

Orange Line train is a BOT project, means Build operate and transfer, its not a loan neither did Govt. borrowed any amount, chines company who built it will operate it for 25 years in order to get back its amount invested, plus profit then it will be transfered to punjab govt. means punjab govt. will not have to return anything like loan etc. check this...

other provinces also got BOT projects under CPEC..
Orange line metro is not a BOT project...

China Export-Import Bank committed a concessional loan of 165.226 billion rupees to Pakistan for the Lahore Orange Line Metro Train project. The loan has been approved, as of May 2015, according to the Pakistan Ministry of Finance. The project is to develop a city-wide train system in the eastern city of Lahore, a senior Pakistani government official announced on April 27, 2011. The governments of Pakistan and China on May 22, 2014 signed an agreement to start a metro train project in Lahore. Multiple Chinese companies will purportedly be involved with implementation. Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif and the National Development and Reform Commission China signed the agreement from Pakistan side at a ceremony which was also witnessed by President Mamnoon Hussain and Chinese President Xi Jinping. The 15-year loan will be disbursed in the next five years, and negotiations are under way to finalize other details, Khwaja Ahmed Hassan, chairman of the Lahore Transport Company (LTC), said that the bank agreed to lend the money with a two-year grace period, and he aimed to get it at 6 percent interest. He said the project was likely to begin by the end of 2011. Lahore, the capital of Punjab province, Pakistan’s most populous and prosperous province, home to more than 5 million people. Officials expect the new transport system, the first of its kind in the country, will substantially decrease road traffic. The project was expected to start by the end of 2014, according to the agreement. The project is currently under construction, estimated to take 27 months, and is scheduled to begin operations in 2018.

Areeshay that's not PEE PEE PEE fault,centre has handed karachi to MQM for past 2 decades and Sindh is colony of Pee Pee Pee for last 10 years,karachi is literally running on blessing of Almighty,otherwise Federal Government has left it completely in hands of PEE PEE PEE and MQM.
Mian Sanap is responsible for it,classic policy

Well Pee Pee Pee is fully in power in Sindh for past 10 years at least even if we ignore its past tenures.

The fact is Pee Pee Pee is far worse than PML(N) when it comes to governance and even worse is the fact that nothing is being done to kick them out. At least Shehbaz Sharif in Punjab is facing difficulties due to PTI which is not the case in Sindh where Pee Pee Pee has complete freedom to do whatever it wants to.

They are not being kicked out because they did have a deal with PMLN.
 
.
How about reintroducing trees and restoring old parks, and urban redevelopment in parts of the city
 
. . . .
Lahore not Punjab and not Pakistan. This massive expenditure doesn't benefit anyone.
Do you still think they care for Pakistan?
VOTES are what matters to them. The best way is to present one model and promise the rest of public similar facilities OR just buy the votes, its even easier!

They got an interchange in return for paying Lahore for 70 years - BIG DEAL

Yes Indeed....!!

No matter how much you try bro, biasedness has no cure, you know this time, record development has been done in once neglected south Punjab, whether its Multan, Bahawalpur, Lodhran, Jhang etc...and its reported/covered in the media too...
But the issue is we don't seem to have sense/awareness as a nation you know..
The ability to do a balanced, neutral critical analysis, comparing the performance of all 4 provinces on the basis of ground facts and deliverables is not our forte. Cuz when an individual has decided his/her political affiliation with some politician or a political party, it becomes very difficult even impossible to disassociate your analysis/views from your political affiliation...
