The defeat of the PPP candidate in a bye-election in Larkana was an alarm bell for Zardari and company. The leaders of this party always prided itself on their electoral strength in the home town of the founder of the party and this defeat must have given them a big jolt. The common man is not going to buy the statement of Bilawal that gerrymandering had taken place in the polls. The question is who can gerrymander election in Sindh where there is PPP government for about ten years now ?
It isn’t difficult to find causes of the PPP’s debacle in this bye-election. Sindh is notorious for bad governance. There is corruption galore.

Uptill now the PPP has been playing Sindh card quite effectively during the polls for getting into the corridors of power but as they say enough is enough the common man has now started realising that the so-called heirs of late Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto have been leading them up the garden path.
