While addressing party workers here at Kundi Model Farm, he said the electoral campaign would be formally inaugurated on December 22 however the political activities have been started in connec-tion with upcoming general elections scheduled to be held on February 08 next year.
He said, “The PPP was only party who always raise voice for common people, farmers and women.” He mentioned that the Benazir Income Support Pro-gram (BISP), launched by his party 15 years ago, was successfully benefitting the poor segments of the society. He said, “PPP during its 16 months government in center has increased the number of beneficiaries and now about 10 million people in-cluding 200,000 belonging to Dera Ismail Khan were getting stipend from BISP.”
