He said, “No doubt we are faced with severe economic challenges but the PML-N is determined to revive the country’s economy.” He said the people would see a clear difference between the performance of his party and of the previous government’s. He said it was the government of PML-N that installed modern inexpensive power plants, generated electricity from cheap coal and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) and overcame load shedding.
