The economic growth rate has amazed even our rivals who previously accused us of destroying the country.
Now, the premier added, they accuse us of lying. I want to tell them, I didn t come to power through the rigging. Unlike you, I m the captain who brought a neutral umpire, he quipped. We achieved record growth in agriculture and made sure that the farmers are given their due share. We made sure that the sugar mills pay the farmers in full.
Pakistan, the prime minister maintained, also witnessed record increase in the production of wheat, corn, and rice and in the sale of fertilizer. He further said the initiatives taken brought prosperity to farmers and those living in the rural areas were able to buy tractors, motorcycles, and vehicles.
