The popularity of PTI Reality or illusion?
There is an English proverb that says, "General perception is more powerful than reality." In the first general elections of 1970, it looked as if Jamaat-e-Islami would strongly oppose the Awami League in East Pakistan. It didn't happen. In 1993, the late Qazi Hussain Ahmed made a name of "Pakistan Islamic Front" in such a way that the eyes started burning. The oppressors! The earth began to shake with the slogans of "Qazi Arah Hai". Out of 93 candidates, only three candidates won. The Front got only 3.15 percent of the votes. These are far-fetched examples of ground realities and general perception.
The example of 2013 is not too old. The neo-revolutionaries, flamboyant media and dream-mongering intellectuals convinced that PTI's tsunami is about to sweep everything away. On May 11, 2013, at nightfall, the magic of imagination was broken in such a way that Khan kept burning to the coals for five years. Today, once again systematic efforts are being made to plant this perception as a proven ground reality in the hearts and minds that Tehreek-e-Insaf will sweep away all its competitors on February 8. A circle of "observers" is very active among those who fuel this impression, who are not ready to get hands off the table of power. The only purpose is that Elections should be pushed forward by raising the tide of PTI.
When the Imran government ended in April 2022, according to a Gallup Pakistan survey, 57 percent of Pakistanis expressed happiness. 63% of them were women. Generally, rulers or their governments are remembered for public welfare and national development. Khan Sahib's four-year tenure hardly brought any relief or relief to the common man. The well-known by-elections of 2022 are also given as an argument for this impression when Imran Khan himself contested on eight out of eight seats of the National Assembly. Succeeded in six. He also achieved significant success in the Punjab Assembly. Muslim League (N) says that P. T. Due to giving tickets to IK defectors, their voters did not leave their homes. The data confirms this. The polling rate in these by-elections was only 29 percent. As if 71 percent of the voters did not come to vote. In the general elections, this rate was 51.7 percent.
Another impressionistic hypothesis is that this time a legion of young people are going to become first-time voters. This is a big fallacy. In the last four elections, the rate of new voters has been more or less the same. In the last election (2018), the rate of new voters was 18.7% of the total registered votes. This rate has decreased by 2.2 percent to 16.5 percent. It is also interesting to note that youth between the ages of eighteen and twenty-four do not vote with much enthusiasm. In 2018, only 37 percent of the youth went out to vote when popularity of Khan Sahib was on his peak. According to a report released by Gallup Pakistan, only 35% of the voting youth aged 18 to 24 voted for PTI and 65% for other parties. Muslim League (N)'s share was 21 percent. Today the weather has taken a big turn.
In 2018 elections, PTI managed to get 32 percent of the votes despite all the tricks of the talent. A large number of successful candidates were electables. Today they are all weather birds of Siberia. have migrated to the blue lakes. Some are in jail. Some hide and some remain in the corner of the house. The party has grown from bottom to top. When Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto came into circulation, he nominated the founding member of the People's Party, father of Socialism Sheikh Muhammad Rasheed as his successor. It became difficult for Sheikh Sahib to carry this burden, so on his request, Nusrat Bhutto was made acting chairperson. The party's stalemate remained. When necessary, Mrs. Benazir Bhutto made Makhdoom Amin Faheem the Chairman of Pakistan People's Party Parliamentarian. When Nawaz Sharif broke down, Javed Hashmi was given the command once and Shahbaz Sharif the second time. The stalemate remained. The latest masterpiece of Khan Sahib's "wise" political decisions is to hire a stranger named Barrister Gohar Ali Khan. Handed over the command of PTI who do not even recognize 99% of the workers and whose 27-year association with Tehreek-e-Insaf is only about 17 months. On the other hand, Imran Khan has longed to become Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. On May 9, he wanted to make his workers "Mukti Bahini" but the plan backfired. They are still sitting on this ugly stigma of stigma. How to open the vortex knot and who will open it? Selling Tosha Khana watches, receiving land and cash for 190 million pounds, the stories of his wife and their friends, Cypher's drama and the May 9 conspiracy must have made Khan Sahib's innumerable fans angry. would have created their new obsessions more or less.
The long marches of 25 May 2022 and 25 November 2022 failed miserably. No one is making them a measure of immense "popularity".
The most important and productive exercise is on the day of the election. For each constituency of the National Assembly, around 300 polling stations, polling agents, convenience camps, door-to-door contacts, transport to bring voters, and thousands of dedicated workers and hard workers. Planning is required. All this can be done only by an active and organized party. PTI Will it be able to do everything?
To see and show the ground realities through the lens of your desire or interest, is nothing but delusion. In cities, villages, villages, party candidates in various constituencies have become clear to a large extent. PTI don't know when the practice will start. Even if she has the ability to move the pole, she will have to be told that people should vote for which pole installed in which street of which neighborhood in which city? It is very bitter, but the reality written on the wall is that due to the foolishness of their leader. PTI The power of eye-claw testing has been lost. The power of eye-claw testing has been lost. Today, he is facing a battle for his survival, not a major electoral scandal.
