Election gimmicks

Author: Daily Times

Sir: The chief minister of Punjab is in Rawalpindi to oversee development work, and he has erected his tent there too to continue the practice of Minar-e-Pakistan. My question to the honourable chief minister is that does he also sleep in a non air-conditioned room, after returning home from his tent? Does he also experience repeat power outages at night? Is his car like many in Pakistan, AC-less and ordinary? The point I want to make is that it is good to empathise but doing so in the election year makes little or no impression. After all, load shedding is not a new phenomenon; we have been experiencing it for the last four years.
