HYDERABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that PPP was contesting elections on the basis of ideology and the peoples’ welfare policies instead of winning or losing the general elections.

The PPP Chairman expressed these remarks during a brief talk with media persons here outside the residence of Syed Naveed Qamar from where he later led the second leg of his election rally onwards to Matiari, Sanghar and Nawabshah districts.

Responding to a question, Bilawal termed the Grand Democratic Alliance in Sindh a puppet alliance which has no support in the masses. Those who are making hue and cry over water shortage in Sindh were responsible in signing 1991 Water Accord and felt no guilt of supporting the dictators for construction of dam in the past, he replied to a question.

He said that the provincial governments of Punjab and KPK did nothing for completing the water projects, but it was the PPP government of Sindh which completed over one thousand kilometres lining of canals as well as establishing more than two thousand River Osmosis Plants.

He, however admitted that lot of work needed for accomplishment in water sector which include the establishment of de-salinity plants to ensure availability of water to the people. There is the need that the federal government should provide due right and resources to Sindh for completion of development projects, he added.
