Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur has alleged that the federal government of punishing the people in KP as a “revenge” by continuing the electricity loadshedding in the province.
In a video statement released on Tuesday, the CM said that the Centre had further reduced KP’s share of electricity supply.
“The Centre is not fulfilling the commitment made [with KP government],” Gandapur said, while referring to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led government as the former coalition, “Pakistan Democratic Alliance (PDM) government”.
“The PDM government is using lies and falsehood,” he said.
The KP CM lamented that complaints were being received regarding the loadshedding schedule violations in the province.
Gandapur went on to say that the local workers of the Water and Power Development Authority (Wapda) had been cooperating as per their capacity, while the provincial authorities were “fully cooperating” with the authority on the matter of line losses.
He further stated that the provincial government will soon have another meeting with the federal government on the matter.
The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) firebrand warned political rival, PML-N-led government, to “fix your behaviour” with the KP government. He said that people would come out on the streets if the Centre didn’t do so.
