While addressing a huge public gathering at Jinnah Stadium Gujranwala, the CM said the PML-N government had completed development projects worth Rs40 billion for the uplift and prosperity of Gujranwala district in the past four years and in the same manner over 60 billion rupees had been spent in this regard in last nine years.

The CM while announcing Metro-bus service for Gujranwala said work on this project would start immediately after the success in coming elections. He also announced University of Engineering and Technology, Rachna College up-gradation to University level, construction of multi storey Surgical Tower at the District Headquarters Hospital, flyover at Alam Chowk and project of widening of Gujranwala to Khanqaw Dogran Motorway Interchange road from 12 feet to 24 feet.

He promised that if people would give us an opportunity to serve in the upcoming elections, all these projects would start. The huge gathering of people today was a clear proof of the fact that people extremely loved the PML-N and Nawaz Sharif, he said.

The CM said that he had come Gujranwala to congratulate people for Jinnah Flyover which had been completed at an estimated cost of around Rs 8 billion and this project was a wonder of Pakistan which will lighten hearts of people with lightening at night and blossom of flowers.

He added that people from Rawalpindi, Lahore and other cities who used to visit here for food had to face difficulties before but now Jinnah Fly-over will facilitate them in the best possible way.

He mentioned that Nandipur was in proximity here and the PML-N had completed this project four years ago by working day and night on it under the dynamic leadership of Muhammad Nawaz Sharif.

During the government of the Pakistan Peoples Party, machinery of this project stayed unattended on the Karachi Port for four years and its parts were stolen.

Shehbaz Sharif thanked Allah for giving them courage to complete this project and shared further that not only this project but we had installed energy projects of thousands of megawatts in the past four years due to which the light which used to remain disappeared most of the time few years ago, was lightening the whole country without interruption.

He said that Zardari's government had turned Karachi into Mohenjodoro today and on the other side government of Naizi sahib had pushed Peshawar into darkness. Zardari and Niazi had made alliance, however, people were well aware of their coalition because both had done nothing in their provinces so were afraid now to confront public, he added.

The CM shared that Niazi Sahib did not have courage to face people in KPK that was why he was leveling baseless allegations on us because we had provided better educational facilities to children from less privileged families.

"We have ensured supply of standard medicines in government hospitals and CT Scan machines are made available in all district hospitals of the province. People of remote areas are being provided with standard medical facilities at their doorsteps through mobile hospital", he said.

The CM added that" We have laid a network of roads, bridges and flyovers. The best IT center has been established in Lahore". He said:" Our policy of public service is hurting the opponents". He vowed that with the blessings of Allah we will bury the alliance of Zardari and Niazi.

He said there was no better judge than the public and our performance in public service was evident before public so we hope that they will make the fair choice in upcoming elections. If God and the people give us the opportunity to serve, not only Punjab but every city of Pakistan will progress and all units of our country will be developed like Punjab, the CM said.

He vowed that: "We will generate new opportunities of jobs and clean water project will be extended to the whole Pakistan". He said the PML-N government had provided farmers with cheap fertilizers, interest-free loans and cheap electricity to the tube wells.

Defence Minister Khurram Dhangir Khan, Minister of State Chaudary Mahmud Bashir Wark and Usman Ibrahim also addressed the rally. The provincial ministers, members of the assembly and huge number of workers were also present in the gathering. APP/maa/asm
