(Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf which had come into power some five years back in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa with the promise of bringing ‘change’ in 90 days has failed to complete any mega project in the province.

During the past five years of its tenure, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has been unsuccessful in the full-scale implementation of its reforms agenda. While hospital services have seen improvement, there hasn’t been satisfactory progress in the education sector.

The first phase of Swat Motorway remained limited to just its launch. Similarly, the Bus Rapid Transit project remains unfinished despite the passage of 7 months.

Chief Minister KP Pervez Khattak has said that their government has initiated mega projects just 8 months back. He further claimed that the BRT project would be completed in 8 months.

Right at the start of its tenure, the PTI-led KP government had raised the slogan of education emergency in their province and had also promised to bring about revolutionary changes in the health sector.

But despite all the commitments, they failed to fulfill their promises.

Not a single new hospital was set up in the province during the past 5 years.

However, in the health sector, the provincial government introduced a big project by the name of ‘Sehat Insaf Card’.

The opposition has claimed that the PTI government has failed to bring about any of the promised ‘change’ in the province, and instead has left KP in debt.

Opposition legislators have also accused the PTI government of not just ignoring the health and education sector but also bringing about reforms ‘too late’.

The KP government’s promise of establishing sports grounds in every tehsil of the province remains yet to be fulfilled.

The much hyped billion tree project met almost the same fate with the government managing to plant only 400 million trees – something which is now being investigated by the National Accountability Court.
