That Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has been able to deliver in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a fact that has found its best expression from the following: While the infrastructure expenditures of the federal, Punjab, Sindh and Balochistan governments dipped in the first two quarters of the current fiscal year, spending by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government witnessed an increase of 128 percent.
The Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (PRSP) released by Ministry of Finance has said that spending on infrastructure projects, including railways, road and bridges, in the first two quarters of the current fiscal year witnessed a decline of 16.29 percent. The expenditure on infrastructure declined to Rs 149 billion during the first two quarters of the current fiscal year from Rs 178 billion for the same period a year before.
No doubt, the KP has done really well insofar as infrastructure development spending is concerned. The party, arguably, has brightened its 2018 general election prospects.
