Chief Minister (5k+ posts)
Nawaz the liar mislead the nation by giving them the lollipops of motorways to even small town and a bullet train from the mountains to Karachi.
They give the estimates of $10bn for the link, which as I have mentioned at the time is a miscalculation on grand scale. As I said at the time the British link could cross $100bn mark. Now a think tank in the UK is saying the cost could be as high as 80bn i.e. over $120bn. This link is only 200+ miles. Imagine the cost of over 1000 miles link????
The irony is that nobody in Pakistani press highlighted the lies of this scum who had been misleading the nation for over 2 decades. Now the reality of Nawaz and his crooked gang is very obvious to the nation. They are clueless and worthless but still the Media is quiet on their complete failures.
How this idiot can build the link without having any of the technology required available domestically? While the cost in Britain is so high despite all the technology available locally.
The only cost saving for Pakistan would be in labour costs which could be low compared to Britain.
HS2 'could cost taxpayer 80bn'
The government says HS2 will bring "billions of pounds worth of economic benefits"
The HS2 high-speed rail project could cost more than 80bn - almost double the current estimated cost of 42.6bn, a free-market think tank has said.
The Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA) expects lobbying by local councils for extra infrastructure and design changes will inflate the cost.
It wants HS2 to be scrapped and the money spent on other transport schemes.
