\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan said that he would have faced countless difficulties if the party had formed a government in the centre after the 2013 general elections.
\nIn an interview with BBC Urdu, Khan reasoned that if he would have formed the federal government in 2013, he would have faced difficulties due to inexperienced parliamentarians.
\nExcept for Pervaiz Khattak, it took other parliamentarians a year to understand how to run affairs, he said, adding that PTI leaders have shown exceptional leadership qualities despite their inexperience.
\n\u201cI have learnt a lot during PTI\u2019s tenure in KP,\u201d said the PTI chief while adding that he is hopeful PTI will prove to be victorious in the next general elections.
\nThe PTI chairman also said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa\u2019s municipal system, education system and easy access to health facilities are the three achievements he feels most proud of.
\n\u201cCompared to other provinces, we have spent the most money on education,\u201d he remarked.
\nOn KP\u2019s municipal system, he said that the new system could not be implemented as some members of his own party and provincial bureaucracies have been opposing it.
\n\u201cAs per law, the system has been implemented; however, the actual implementation is taking some time. We have made some revolutionary changes which have never been seen in Pakistan due to which some of our [PTI] MPAs and bureaucrats are against it.\u201d
\nKP has the best municipal system in the entire country, he claimed, adding that officials in other provinces have also demanded a similar system.
\n\u201cMayor Karachi has said that he wants KP\u2019s municipal system. Punjab\u2019s municipal officials say that they also want to implement a similar system. There must be something in this system that everyone is demanding it. \u201c
\nSpeaking in regards to improvements in the health department, Khan further said that PTI\u2019s government increased salaries of doctors, improved the service structure, and employed more doctors.
\n\u201cDuring our tenure, the total number of doctors increased from 3,000 to 10,000,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cWe need a significant amount to improve hospital facilities and buildings. We do not have those funds available,\u201d said the PTI chairman.
\nPTI emerged as the largest party in KP after the general elections in 2013 and formed a coalition government in the province. It also became one of the biggest parties in the country<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
