Addressing a campaign gathering in Burewala town, Vehari district, the ex-prime minister criticized the past PTI government for the considerable surge in inflation. He compared the costs of basic items and utility charges during the PML-N government to those under the current Imran Khan-led administration. “Think back to my previous tenure when essential items were much more affordable. Roti was Rs4, electricity bills, once Rs500, have now soared to Rs20,000, and farm inputs and machinery costs have increased fivefold,” expressed Mr. Sharif.
