Earlier i had vowed to bring forward the alleged corrutpion of Punjab Government.Here i am, with statistics:
1- 35 Billion Rupees were specified for Yellow Cab scheme in 2010-2011.Estimating a Yellow cab to be of 0.5 million rs. (Although the yellow cabs are much cheaper than that because their body is of very light and sub-standard material),number of Yellow cabs amounts to 70,000 with the specified money.If we accept that the money had been spent fully transparently and that each district of Punjab was given equal quota,there should be at least 2000 yellow cabs in Lahore.But i bet you will not notice more than 200-300 yellow cabs in Lahore
2-He claimed that he had distributed 1 lakh laptops last year and the fund specified for the laptops was told to be 22 billion rs.
Although 1 lakh seems a very exeggerated figure,yet let us accept it true for the analysis.The laptops which were distributed were worth not more than 25,000 rs.This means that in actual he had spent 2.5 billion on laptops.Even if we double the cost of a single laptop,the overall expenditure amounts to 5 billion rs.Where did the rest 16-17 billion rs. go?
3- Rapid Bus project was initially estimated to be completed with a budget of some 19 billions but uptill now it has consumed 27 billions ,apparently due to poor planning but one can smell corruption in it as well.It is feared to take 8 billion more until its completion thus consuming almost 25% budget of Punjab
Moreover the rumours are that Shareefs are consuming the steel from their foundaries and mills open heartedly as previously it was rusting in their store houses.
Conclusion
Shehbaz Shareef is spending just a fraction of resources on the public of Punjab.His statistics were completely misleading and the more serious thing is that neither PPP,nor PTI is unveiling his corruption in Talkshows.Nor they have taken this matter to court.

Good try but very weak analysis I must say.
ReplyDelete@Ahmad Junaid :
ReplyDeleteThanks for appreciation.It would have been better if you had pointed out those weaknesses as well.
Probably you are saying so because there's no rocket science involved.simple equation hai.
Although Punjab Govt is not a holy cow but You put figures on assumptions. No solid ground. no references. Nothing.
ReplyDeletethe figures of 22 billion,27 billion,150 billion and 35 billion are quoted by Punjab govt. itself.
ReplyDeleteNothing from my own dear
And how do U know that one laptop costs 25k. And that cabs were not distributed as communicated.
ReplyDeleteAs far as laptops are concerned,P4 laptops were distirbuted and when i checked the specs and inquired about their price in the marketthey were available from 20k-25k and i also quoted htat even if you double the amount i.e consider one laptop to be of 50k (remember that an 13 laptop is available in almost 43k ),the budget for onle lakh laptops should not exceed 5 billions.where did rest 17 billion go?
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as cabs are concerned,i have quoted my observation.If you cant find more than 300-400 cabs in the biggest city of Punjab and the second biggest city of the country,there must be something wrong and it simply points that cabs were bought less than that could have be bought
I don't agree but I know that here nothing happens without corruption. Its in our blood now unfortunately:( .But I m happy to see that at least something is being done. Unlike our government, at least Punjab is doing good.
ReplyDeletePunjab seems to be doing good because It is spending fractions and advertising on a large scale.If you had only bothered to know,you would know that PPP is giving stipend to the poor "Benazir Income Support" instead of giving laptops which will only add to electricity bills of the poor.
ReplyDeleteBut it is good to see that unlike other PML-N fanatics,you at least admit that corruption is being done and i cant force you to agree but facts themselves speak.
