Chaudhry credited the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) government for resolving the energy crisis that plagued Pakistan in 2013, with load shedding reaching 22 to 23 hours. The government provided thousands of megawatts to the grid, significantly improving the situation.

The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) was revived after a brief halt due to the discontinuity of our government in 2018, he said. Due to Prime Minister’s struggles, Rs 7.41 per unit cut in power rates was a major relief to the consumers, he said.

We are not good in making propaganda or doing abusing politics but when it comes to deliverance, making bridges, roads, infrastructure and economy we have and will deliver to the people.

The government has launched various public welfare projects, including Kisan Program supporting farmers through the Kisan card and tractor program, improved healthcare services and registering over 1.5 million people for housing initiatives through the Apni Chat Apna Ghar program.
