What propaganda? Pervaz Khattak himself said that it will be completed in 6 months.
He was trying to pull a fast one, but not as fast as SS claims about eliminating load shedding...

SS claim about load shedding was corrected by NS before elections when he said kay yeh josh e khitabat mai bol jatay hain - Pervaiz Khattak on the other hand still believes that he can complete BRT in 6 months :)

1- What is the source of this email? how can this be taken as reliable?
2- What is the revised PC-1 cost? He did not state any here
3- Why is he saying that the project is ahead of schedule whereby the relevant document on ADB's Website states otherwise
Ref to Page 3-( Table 2, Project Implementation Plan) of the document in the link:
The date of completion was Dec 2018, after the revisions in the plan and approval of 587 million USD loan.
4- Why is he giving the misleading statement that the loan's closing is by 2021 and he is not stating that the majority of the ADB's funding (i.e. 87% is exhausted by 2019) and only 13% will be disbursed in subsequent years 2019 to 2021 for operational purposes. Ref to Page 16 (S-Curve) of the above mentioned document of ADB.
Moreover, the Loan agreement with ADB has been secured by the charge of interest during the construction period.
5- Last,but not the least: Why is GoKP is conducting an inquiry into the delays and price escalations (which are more than 40%) whereby the ADB is sitting satisfied with the performance of the project?
Did you read the email? Because clearly you didn't.
PTI claimed ADB did the changes but even in the email, ADB rejected that and said KP government requested those changes.
Check this
They should be hanged if they did corruption, hope they will not burn the records!!!
If some independent body researches BRT, they will find huge corruption in it.
The quality of roads alone shows how much money actually went into this and how much was pocketed. They're falling apart despite being built not too many months ago
What do you mean by "If they did corruption"?
This is clearly a case of strategic misrepresentation.
Initial cost of the BRT project given in the parliament to get the project approved was 48 Billion PKR. However, the first PC-1 of the Project estimates, provided by ADB was 62 Billion PKR in 2015, before the project start. Now the estimates are exceeding 69 Billion PKR. That is almost 44% Cost hike and more than 200% of schedule run (from estimates provided initially in the KPK assembly to get the go on the project).
Now this type of corruption is hard to catch and it is rampant even in first world countries. A study showed that almost 45% of those involved in making such decisions had knowingly understated what they believed to be the true costs and/or overstated the likely benefits in order to get a project approved (Source: http://calleam.com/WTPF/?p=6141).
However, the works of Daniel Kahneman and Prof Bent Flybjerg in this context are termed as classics. UK and US have developed a new forecasting technique on these works known as reference class forecasting, just because of the reason that such corruptions and white collar crimes are hard to catch. They mix it with Optimism or Cognitive Bias.
My personal favorite in this context is the work by Bent Flybjerg.
