LARKANA: PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari announced an ambitious 10-point election manifesto on Wednesday, emphasising the formation of a “pro-people” government after the Feb 8 elections.
Addressing a large public gathering in Garhi Khuda Bakhsh on the 16th death anniversary of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto, Mr Bhutto-Zardari laid out the party’s framework aiming to revolutionise various sectors across the country.
Central to this agenda is a commitment to double salaries and provide 300 free units of electricity per household, achieved by setting up green energy parks in every district, harnessing solar and wind energy sources.
The former foreign minister also resolved to overhaul the health sector, with plans to replicate successful models like NICVD, SIUT, and Gambat Institute of Medical Sciences nationwide.
