Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) has termed the reduction in petrol price and power tariff a success of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari-led long march, ARY News reported on Monday.
Surprisingly, PPP has taken the credit for the reduction in petrol price and electricity tariff announced by Prime Minister Imran Khan in his address to the nation today.
The spokesperson of the Bilawal House said in a statement that it was the first success of the PPP long march as Bilawal Bhutto Zardari forced the premier to reduce the rates.
Sindh Local Government Minister Nasir Hussain Shah wrote in a Twitter message, “Jeet Gaya Bilawal, Haar Gayi Mehngai [Bilawal wins and inflation loses].
جیت گیا بلاول ہار گئ مہنگائ ۔۔۔

Sindh Information Minister Saeed Ghani thanked Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and said that the petrol price was reduced after the marchers reached Hyderabad. The prices of other products will also be reduced after the huge participation of the nation in the Awami March.
شکریہ بلاول بھٹو زرداری
