F.P. Report
MARDAN: The eyes of the whole country are on the battle of Mardan’s strong Assembly Constituency NA-22 and Provincial Constituency PK-58. Political parties have fielded their candidates, but the results in these two constituencies are seen in favor of ANP candidate and former Chief Minister Amir Haider Khan Hoti. Everyone has the right to disagree with my opinion and analysis and can give an opinion on it, but I am putting before you the conclusions that have been drawn by looking at the facts on the ground.
In NA-22, the main contest will be between Amir Haider Khan and PTI’s Atif Khan, while in PK-58 Amir Haider Khan and JUI’s Maulana Tajul Amin Jabal will be contested. PTI candidate Abdul Salam Afridi is facing difficulties in contesting as a independent without a call due to internal differences in his party and Pervez Khan Khattak as PTI’s parliamentary candidate and the votes of his party will be divided.
There is no denying the party vote of Maulana Tajul Amin Jabal but he himself knows that it is not easy to overcome the challenge he is facing, now other parties and other candidates will take votes according to their party status, but it is certain that the former chief minister is far ahead of the opposition candidates in both the seats and they will win by a large margin. It can be seen that the services of Amir Haider Khan Hoti as Chief Minister are not hidden from anyone.
During his five-year tenure, he spent billions of rupees and reduced the deprivations of Mardan to a great extent and got the title of founder. Amir Haider Khan may have political differences, but everyone recognizes his nobility. His great quality is that you will always find him among the people. He has public relations with every citizen and worker above politics. They participate in events like plaintiffs and speak politely and logically. Those Pakhtun traditions while giving speeches in political meetings. He always holds the foot of literature and decency. Due to these qualities, he has gone home in the hearts of the people.
In contrast, PTI in the first period beat the drum of freeing the institutions from political interference and kept claiming that buildings and roads do not lead to development. In the second period, PTI had to take a U-turn from its policies, to keep the name alive in Mardan, funds were stopped for ANP projects then flyovers were constructed at such places, which became the cause of daily accidents, Women’s University and Girls Cadet College will be established, but until now they are deprived of their buildings. Nepotism on other parties the nine-year tenure of those making allegations of merit violations is in front of everyone.
Despite the heavy mandate, PTI’s internal differences were such that during the nine-year tenure of their government, no mega project was approved for Mardan. On the other hand, no chief minister from the heart has taken care of Mardan. During the leadership of PTI, it was a condition that it was forbidden to socialize with the common people and participate in their joy and sorrow events. In such a situation, in the general elections to be held on February 8 tomorrow, PTI workers including the general public will be forced to think that the real development of Mardan who should be chosen for prosperity and problem solving? The people of Mardan are facing many problems at present, there is no cath lab or burn center in the hospitals and in case of accidents the patients are forced to go to the hospitals of other cities. Cancer Hospital, Sports fields, Sports Academy, IT and Medical University, alternative roads to reduce traffic in the city. Clean drinking water, Sewage system, Street lights and rickshaw bike facility. There are many other issues and challenges faced by the industry for girls’ vocational education and youth employment.
These problems will not be solved by claims and mere promises. There is a need for serious and visionary leadership and personality. The people have understood that they have no other choice but to have Amir Haider Khan to solve their problems. Therefore, the bushes of deprivation cannot be cut with a sickle, but the lantern will be lit, then a new prosperity will be created.
