PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Pakistan People’s Party only needs democratic support of public criticizing rivals backed by undemocratic elements.
He was addressing the media on joining of senator Rana Mehmoodul Hassan and former provincial minister Chaudhry Abdul Waheed Arain in PPP.

Bilawal said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf might have to contest general polls on a symbol other than “bat” after it bungled its intra-party elections. Bilawal said the PTI founder wanted to get into power by rigging elections. The elections reforms would have been better, if the PTI founder had supported the PPP, he added.

He said PPP would fight no matter how the “pitch” was in the elections. All the political parties represented elites but his party represented poor masses, farmers, labourers and students, he said.

“Others are looking (for help) in one direction or the other, but we are looking towards the people as our ideology is different from other parties,” he said adding that one wanted to escape from prison, the other wanted to get out of it.

The PPP chief said his party would give a surprise on February 8. The candidates should begin their election campaign and nobody should remain under the illusion that polls would not be held, he said.

Bilawal reiterated to provide financial aid to labourers through “Benazir Mazdoor Card”. He also said education and any other necessity of the youth would be fulfilled.
“The other parties give relief to the rich and hurt the underprivileged. While we consider the common men centre of power and we want to become their ladla (blue-eyed boy),” he said adding that they made arrangements for themselves no matter if they got level-playing field or not.
He blamed Imran Khan for succeeding in rigging general elections last time.

Rana Mehmoodul Hassan will contest election on the party ticket of PPP from NA-150. Bilawal Bhutto welcomed the new party members and pledged to make great developments for the people of Multan.

Bilawal took a dig at rival political parties, stating their policies were pro-elite and harm the poor. He promised to adopt a ‘poor people’ policy after coming into power. Healthcare facilities, economic opportunities, affordable electricity, and skill-based education are the key agendas of PPP. His party will introduce key reforms for a diverse public. PPP will provide ‘Nojwan Card’ for youth, ‘Kisaan Card’ for farmers, and ‘Mazdor Card’ to laborers.

He stated, “Public support is the real power. The true victor is the one who is the visionary people’s leader.Only PPP has the power to bring out Pakistan from multiple crises.
