PTI govt be held accountable for Pakistan’s rising inflation &
diminishing purchasing power of rupee: Bilawal

ISLAMABAD, (MANEND NEWS): Chairman Pakistan People’s Party
(PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has demanded the PTI government be
held accountable for Pakistan’s rising inflation and the diminishing
purchasing power of the rupee. This is critical at this point since Prime
Minister Imran Khan has spent his entire tenure borrowing money.
Where and how this money was utilised is still a mystery.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari stated, “The
ruling government borrows money to pay salaries, but has failed
miserably on the economic front!” Highlighting the suffering of the
masses, he observed that the common man’s income has been
steadily declining. On the other hand, the rate of inflation skyrocketed
after the end of PPP’s federal government – and it continues to
drastically increase to date.
Chairman PPP also called out the PM for distorting the truth by
claiming he has a role to play in Pakistan’s industrial growth.
“Declarations such as these are ridiculous since the selected PM has
admitted to a decline of more than 22% in the energy sector growth
rate,” he said.
Bilawal Bhutto Zardari also brought to light the accomplishments of
the PPP during its five-year tenure. “The income of the common citizen
increased by 59%,” said Chairman PPP said, “We also can’t ignore the
fact that per capita income has increased the most in Sindh due to

PPP’s provincial government’s initiative. Whereas, the PTI government
has used the old census data to show higher per capita income,” he
concluded.
However, these aren’t the only skeptical statistics that the citizens
must ponder on. PTI also claimed to contribute to record wheat
production. While the truth is, flour became 28% more expensive in
just one year.
“Why would people be satisfied with the federal government’s claims
of record sugarcane production when sugar has become 21% more
expensive?” questioned Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari. “Does a 60
% increase in chicken prices in just one year count as an
accomplishment?”
