Talking to the guests, the CM said the projects evolved during the tenure of those who were criticising the welfare programmes of the government unjustifiably were not monuments of development but graveyards of corruption. He said the present government was moving in the right direction and the people knew very well who was serving them and who was indulging only in protest politics.
He said had these projects been completed three years ago, Pakistan would not have to face an economic loss of Rs165 billion nor the poor nation had to spend an additional amount of Rs30,000 billion due to the delay in the projects. He said the PML-N government was serving the masses with commitment and sincerity.He said Allah Almighty had given the present leadership an opportunity to serve the nation and it would spare no effort to give a strong and brighter Pakistan to the coming generation.

He said solid economic policies of the government were yielding positive results and national economy was improving. He said the foreign exchange reserves had increased beyond 13 billion dollars while the Pakistani currency had also stabilised against the dollar; the government was making efforts for overcoming the energy crisis and power projects were being launched expeditiously in the country. He said the government had allocated Rs30 billion for the Dasu Dam and Diamer Bhasha Dam while a sum of Rs55 billion had been allocated for the Karachi-Lahore Motorway and this mega project was being started from Karachi.
He said the Punjab government had voluntarily given Rs11 billion from its annual share to other provinces for achieving a consensus on the NFC Award and as such it had given Rs44 billion to other provinces during the last four years.The delegation members said the chief minister was a revolutionary leader and taking historic measures for the public welfare.
