Power cuts were because of line lossless but no investment was made to curb that instead they encouraged more power plants through a overly generous policyYour ppp govt was really bad , but pmln i wont judge in a hurry . Lets see what pmln did in the ground -
1. Drastically reduced power cuts.
2. Lahore and islamabad bus metros helping millions.
3. Revived the dead pakistan railways.
4. CPEC agreement with china.
5. Turkish and chinese cos hired fir garbage disposal.
6. Great highways since previous term.
Its only negative in the eyes of hardliners here is that they tried to improve relations with india , which the army cant tolerate.
Pakistan has systemic issues with its economy which cant be solved in a couple of years , but nawaz sharriff made a start.
No shortcuts except -
Get infrastructure like power and roads.
Start small with import substitution industries.
Metro project is heavily subsidised and thus it makes losses in fact multan metro is a failure...an intended/unintended consequence was other province had to show something to Peshawar metro and the incoming Karachi metro will further occupy tax receipts
Pakistan railways is loss making I believe
The rest is garbage.....This is where a debt went PMLN stop long term financing for textiles so they were not competitive neither did they have uninterrupted power. Please stop your bullshit you can see that the army had made significant overture to Indian Sikhs even more during Pervez Musharraf time the problem is simple we won't negotiate from a weak position and Nawaz had serious agency problems.
