Re: Shahbaz Sharif Projects in Punjab (Punjab Chief Minister-Pakistan) and his Government style.

6- METRO BUS SERVICE
Project Cost: - The Punjab government had allocated Rs 29 billion for the project in the 2012-13 fiscal budget, but the project could cross Rs 70 billion mark.
Criticisms: -
- In Major cities, usually Government laid down a comprehensive plan to deal with public transport. People should use trusted transport system to avoid traffic jams and pollution. This metro system designed in haste and no debate initiated. Usually, after the fall of Government, all money goes in drain and next government does not follow the same project in Pakistan.
- Where rest of the Punjab roads are in terrible condition, spending huge funds on one road and in one city is no brainer. Especially, when it is not solving the people of entire Lahore.
- Pakistan Peoples Partys deputy parliamentary leader in Punjab Assembly Shaukat Mehmood Basra has called MBS an illegal project, saying that the provincial government had not taken permission from the federal government to start projects worth Rs 5 billion or above.
According to law, he added, it was compulsory for all provincial governments to take permission in advance from the federal government and its Finance Department for all projects worth Rs 5 billion or above.
They said the situation was a sad reflection on the inefficiency of the present government. He stated that instead of spending whatever resources were available on health, education and poverty alleviation, these resources were wasted on flop dramas like the Daanish Schools, laptop distribution schemes, sasti roti, Food Support and Green Tractor Schemes.

While living in Canada, I can't do much for PTI. I am dedicating this little efforts to Imran Khan.
I have worked two weeks to compile the data. Actually, i was looking for some material for Shahbaz Shairf projects.
I could not find it at one place. I thought, why not put every thing at one place.
This will help people to initiate debate with facts and figure. Please enjoy the discussion.
I believe that no one can stand in front of you for more than five minutes. That's guaranteed.
Go and win the debate with PML-N supporters.
I would like to request every one to Please share on face book page as well.
We all can only sympathize with your intellectual disability challenges you are facing and surely
the pti intellectually disbale wing was launched to acoomodate all u out there :P
First thing, if these media news are FACTS, then the world is full of FACTS which are self contradicting all the time....
secondly, if all these are really FACTS, why not PTI go to courts with these facts to save national exchequer? or the ego of Khan is more important that he goes to court against Kh Asif but never on these issues? :P you lost it man, and you will lose again in your upcoming posts :P

5- LAP TOP
As per Mian Nawas Sharif, Choota Computer ) SCHEMES to buy Youth Votes in upcoming Elections.
Its Origin :- Started from India UP . Government failed despite using this scheme.
NATIONAL POLICY not home made policy. How do you know the output of a project?
There is no example of free laptop schemes in first world countries.
Project :- First stage :- Under Chief Minister LapTop Scheme, Purchased 125,000 laptops with an estimated cost Rs 40,000 ( Ceremony cost not included )
Second Stage: - 300,000 laptops will be given to talented students in the next budget.
Initially, the government earmarked Rs2 billion in the annual budget for this scheme and later increased it to Rs3.7 billion. Now, the education department has prepared a PC-I that has projected an amount of Rs4.4 billion for the purchase of 110,000 laptops. The Punjab government inked an agreement with a company for the provision of laptops at the rate of Rs37,700 per unit.
Criticsm : - A Massive Publicity Campaign to lure Youth of Punjab.
Purely political strategy, either as a component of pre-election campaigning or to rightfully attempt to secure and include a substantial slice of the nation, in their voter base. It has come to be seen that many of those who received the laptops themselves, consider the whole project as an effort to raise a favorable image and opinion of PML-N in this distinct section, in face of the popularity that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf enjoys amongst them. The youth comprise around 60 to 70 percent of Pakistan today.
- Laptops don't educate people..........at least not till they reach university.....
As many as 39 functions have been arranged and ten more are in the pipeline. One of the biggest functions in the city cost Rs20 million. A province facing a resource crunch is using large amounts of money for self-publicity which is against their oaths. Outrageous expenses on distribution ceremonies and often someone not even in the government distributing laptops. Was it really necessary to hold so many ceremonies so that the party leaders and their children could address the recipients?
- Government should have set up Computer labs in school, colleges and Universities. Students have started selling back laptops in free market.
- Rs253 million is slated to be used for the publicity campaign related to this initiative for PML-N leaders. A similar practice was adopted by the Chaudhries of Gujarat during their Parha Likha Punjab campaign, which was vehemently opposed by the Sharifs.
