Asfandyar takes swipe at PTI govt in KP
32
PESHAWAR: Awami National Party (ANP) president Asfandyar Wali Khan on Friday criticised Imran Khan and Khyber Pakhtunkhawa Chief Minister Pervez Khattak, saying that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) have failed to fulfill their election promises, DawnNews reported.
Speaking to ANP workers in Peshawar, Asfandyar said that the PTI should honour election vows they had made to the youth.
He said that Imran Khan would not be allowed to escape without fulfilling the promises he made during the 2013 election.
He criticised the PTI chairman and KP chief minister, accusing them of “dancing on a container in Islamabad,” while people were being killed in the province.
The ANP leader said that the protests in federal capital were "an insult to dharna’s."
He also said that the KP government had mishandled the internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had arrived in Bannu following the start of Operation Zarb-i-Azb.
Meanwhile, Asfandyar termed Afghan President Ashraf Ghani’s visit to Pakistan a positive development.
“I pray to God that talks between the two countries are successful,” said the ANP leader.
He said that peace could not prevail in Pakistan without Afghanistan being stable.

ANP Government has the worst era corrupt and incompetent leadership and members. They have ruined the system in province and it will take time to remove ANP junk left behind.

PTI is 'dancing'. What you call dancing is a struggle against status quo forces.
At least, they are not busy looting public treasury that you did during your tenure. According to Rauf Klasra, ANP even sold weapons that were meant to fight the Taliban.

Mr. Asfandiyar Wali, You are sadly the most corrupt Pashtun ever. If elections are held today, PTI will win hands down. Their 18 months performance is far better than your 30 plus years of politics of status quo. Go home. You are done.

I am from kpk and know how much corruption was made during their tenure. I admit pti is slow but they are doing nicely with the development projects. 700000 out of school children admitted in schools. Schools are directed to open admissions 12 months. Opd medicine and treatment are free for paying only 10 rupees. Clerical staff upgraded. Roads are widend. Riggt to information implemented. Online FIR working nicely. Mobile courts running nicely. Budget for education is very high with health. You don't see any dirty roads in the capital of kpk. Govt employees attendace increased. Corruption at the lowest in the history of kpk while it was record breaking by anp govt. Suicide attacks decreased substantialy. Businesses geting momentum. Solar lights installed in major towns of kpk specially peshawar. Police behavior has changed positvely. People s are feeling more saftey. Law and order improved. But asfandyar sahab with few other politician are only trying to prove points about dancing because there is nothing really to criticize. Pti vs anp has day and difference.

@Aamir He is NOT the Great Pashtun Leader. Asfandyar is a non elected person. Just like Little Zardari and Musharaf.

ANP ruled Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the peak of terrorism in the country and their leadership gave great sacrifices. We have to acknowledge how bravely they faced the terrorists. Without the support of ANP the operation against the militants would not have been so successful.

At least give credit to PTI that you are back in your own province and can speak in public. In ANP times you were dead scared to come out and show your face to your own people and left the country.

@Sunny These people ( ANP, PLMN, PPP) are deef and blind they don't see and can' hear - but don't forget that KPK people always decide on merit - they are good at teaching lessons to parties who don't deliver.

@PTI
I wonder if the people in the Auditorium will have ANP flag in the hand, will be singing ANP songs, but will secretly be voting for PTI.
ANP and JUIF is no treat or a challenge to PTI anymore. PTI have made their metal in KPK.
Now the real challenge is against PMLN and PPP. Stay focused PTI.
