The PPP chairman will visit every division of the province and address public meetings to activate party workers by conveying them the PPP message for uplift of the masses and development of the country. Meanwhile, MPA Ziaullah Khan Afridi in a statement on Tuesday said that PPP's success in the Senate election was a new challenge for the rival political parties, especially for the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, saying that PTI would face crushing defeat in the next general election in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. He said that the PTI government had miserably failed to deliver and that was why its activists were fast parting ways with it. He said the slogan of 'change' was nothing than a false claim which failed to build confidence of the masses during the period of past four years tenure of the provincial government. He also criticized Pakistan Muslim League-N for not taking interests to initiate mega uplift schemes in the province. He said that PML-N top priority was Punjab to get majority seats in the national assembly and the smaller federating units had no importance for Nawaz Sharif.
