Commenting on the recent reduction in electricity prices, he said that the entire nation was pleased with the decision of the Prime Minister. He promised that the premier would continue to deliver good news to the nation every month. Earlier responding to a statement by Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Ali Amin, he said only PTI members were facing distress over reduction in power tariffs. He claimed that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had splintered into eight factions, and its founder had lost control over the party. He alleged PTI government had broken all previous records of corruption. He questioned whether the responsibility for this corruption should be placed on Ali Amin Gandapur or the PTI founder, declaring PTI\u2019s rule as the most corrupt in Pakistan\u2019s history. He further asserted that PTI initially came to power through unfair means and PTI\u2019s leader was still desperately seeking a secret channel to negotiate.
