Recent surveys have revealed that PTI's popularity has decreased over last 6,7 months.Imran Khan,Chairman PTI has admitted that the popularity of his party has decreased.Let's try to investigate those reasons and factors which led PTI to such cicumstances.Below are a few factors which i personally consider responsible for decrease in his fame.
Reasons
Shehbaz Shareef announced 50,000 internships for youth.Instead of allocating the concerned department or field to people,he put all in one sack and sent them to govt schools for teaching.I myself am a witness that even graduate engineers and Business Adminsitration graduates were sent to govt schools.But people had concern with making money only.This factor also favoured him.
Going one step further ahead,he announced to distribute 20,000 helmets in the name of traffic security.The question which should be asked from CM is that a person who can afford a motorcycle of some 70,000 PKR,cant he afford a helemt of 300 rs.
PTI's youth after 2 big gatherings became very proud and started dealing media persons rashly.They did'nt tolerate anyperson who criticized or differed with Imran Khan's policies.Media felt it a threat for itself and satrted giving less importance and coverage to PTI's events.Although PTI officials deny the impression that yoputh has been doing so on the encouragement from officials of the party,yet there are some strong evidences that Arif Alwi,Awab Alwi and Shafqat Mehmud were behind all this thing.Although by the time ,the intensity has lightened,but its not fully over yet.
Reasons
Shehbaz Shareef launched Laptop Scheme to encounter Imran Khan's popularity in youth.And he succeeded in getting the sympathies of youth by technically bribing them in a subtle manner.

PTI was meant to represent youth but we have'nt seen a single face from youth appearing on talkshows from PTI.He should train his young ones by sending them in talkshows and by letting the world know that his party is'nt dependant on the old ones only.
Only those members of PTI have been criticizing the federal and Punjab government with tooth and nail which have been in PTI since ever or those who are closely related to Imran Khan.We have'nt seen Shah Mehmud Qureshi and Javed Hashmi roaring against PMLN and PPP at their full volume for quite a few months.
PTI chairman,Imran Khan was put under allegationsof corruption in Shaukat Khanum Trust's funds,and the nation stood by him.But he had vowed to file a case against Khawja Asif the very next day.But he sent a notice to Khawaja Asif several months later and the status of that notice is still unknown.
PTI has been politically inactive since quite a few months.PTI's decision to boycott by-elections was a political mistake.Imran Khan had announced that all of his party members will resign from the assembly,but 2 or 3 are still sitting in assemblies.In such circumstances ,he should have had participated with tooth and nail in by-election to know whether the public in Punjab is with him or not?
What Imran Khan can still do?
The water has'nt got over head even at the moment.Imran Khan can still doa few things to increase his party's fame.
First of all he should'nt be talking about negotiations with Taliban any more because thisw thing is creating differences among him and the educated,liberal youth.If he keeps insisting on the dialogue,it will deteriorate his repute further.
He should bring forward original and new faces.I am quite sure that he has got many young,well educated,well mannered guys which only need a spotlight for their political grooming.
The most important thing is that whenever Imran khan talks against Shehbaz Shareef he does'nt quote statistical figures to expose his corruption which gives an impression that he's just blowing out his frustration.He should quote stats to sound authentic e.g 1 lakh laptops which were distributed in 2011 could'nt cost more than 3-4 billion butPunjab government claimed that it had spent some 22 billion on the scheme.This was a big scale corruption yet easily detectable but noone dare to speak against it.1.5 lakh laptops which are being distributed this year do'nt cost more than 9 billion.So collective expenditure of this year and previous year is some 14 billion,still less than 22 billion claimed last year by Punjab government.
His social media team is quite competent.they should collect stats about the worse condition of education and health in Punjab and the nominal amount being spent on these two.He can also quote the expenses on Rapid Bus Project repeatedly and he should.He should pen down the expenses of advertisements by Punjab government in different newspapers and on different channels and should contact election commission if any irregularity is found.
None of PTI officials dare to criticize Shehbaz Shareef's 2 weeks long official foreign tour as a CM,depsite the fact that i tweeted several journalists and PTI officials like Asad Umar and Shafqat Mehmud to talk on this issue.
I just heard earlier today that Imran Khan has talked about politicization of Laptop scheme.It is good to know that but Imran Khan should go one step ahead and contact election commission on this issue and give reference of Nawaz Sharif's participation as a chief guest in the laptop distribution ceremony.
Imran Khan did'nt talk even once on bakery boy scandal,neither did his party members cashed this issue.they could have gained the public sympathies by speaking on this issue,but they did'nt.
There are two fields at least where you need to be in news all the time.the time you disappear from the news,the world wil forget you.one of them is the glamour/fashion industry and the second is politics.Imran Khan and his party needs to understand this well.They need to repeat their strong points of propaganda against Punjab government (which will obviously be based upon statistical figures) over and over again.Repetition does'nt make you sound unauthentic but can help pitch your opinion into viewers mind.
He needs to arrange at least 3 or 4 huge gatherings like those of Lahore and Karachi last year,in next 40 days.PTI needs to mobilize their youth at the moment.Thiese gatherings will serve as warm up activities for the election.
The strategy which Imran needs to adopt is to visit those places visited by shehbaz shareef,after him.He should spread awareness amongst the public about the corruption of Punjab governement and that what Shehbaz Shareef is spending on them is just a fraction and stilla significant amount is going to his pocket.He needs to politicize the deaths due to substandard drugs for heart patients and many more issue.PTI should'nt now let even a minute opportunity to kick PMLN wasted.Kick as much as you can,and kick harder but with stats and refernces quoted.
The most important part of it is to gain the sympathies of youth back.PTI can remind youth of irregularities in online result system,UET's entry test which was leaked out some 2,3 years ago,Punajb Governement's harsh dealing with YDA and then agreement due to elections,appointment of teachers as dengue awareness teams,shut down of some 1700 schools,Schools' privatisation agneda of PMLN's manifesto etc etc.
Last and the most important thing si that Imran Khan needs to maintain party disccipline strictly.He had announced that all members of PTI curtly sitting in parliament will resign from their seats but AfzalSindhu and Awais Laghari did'nt resign,which gives an impression that there is no discipline in the party.Also the internal conflicts of party members are damaging the repute of the party.PTI needs to focus on these issues very seriously.
Do appear on tv screens more than often.Spread your word.Carry on your propaganda.Today i read Imran's statement ina newspaper that Zardari-Nawaz alliance cant beat me even if they buy the interim setup.He should avoid making such statements because if it happens so in future and if PTI does'nt cast the win by their expected margin,he wont be able to complaint against anyone as per hisown statements.He should be very careful by making statements .These are a few suggestions to PTI.I am quite sure that if PTI accepts these,its popularity will increase once again and It will win significant number of seats of PMLN in Punjab.
