    Chief Minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, in his first address as the newly selected PML-N president, promised victory in the coming general polls.

     "Nawaz Sharif's party presidency was snatched, but our love for him remains."

    During the rally in Patoki, Shehbaz criticised the PTI chief and said he has lied to the people and the Orange Line Metro train project was also delayed due to him. 

    "Imran Khan has lied to the people for the last four and a half years," said the Punjab chief minister. 

    "He [Imran] had claimed that he would create multiple dams in KP, but he did not make any. He is also now building the metro project which he had criticised repeatedly," said Shehbaz. 

    Shehbaz said he had sent a defamation notice of billions of rupees to Imran, but the PTI chairman never once came to court. 

    He added that he will now plead the court to create a larger bench for the case to be heard. 

    Shehbaz, reiterating his government's performance in Punjab, said the provincial government has improved the medical infrastructure of Punjab."We have installed CT scan machines to facilitate the poor."

    He also said the government will continue to improve upon educational institutions and improve the infrastructure of the country. 

    "The government fulfilled its promise and ended loadshedding in the country," further said the provincial chief executive. 

    Shifting his focus to Karachi, the newly selected PML-N president said that if the metropolis votes for PML-N, the party will ensure "Karachi becomes the next Lahore". 

    "Karachi used to be known as the city of lights, now it has garbage on every street," said the new PML-N president.
