During four year period no development work was carried out in Quetta and other parts of Balochistan. Billions of rupees received by the province are lapsed speaking failure of rulers.
Omar Gorgej said PPP is not opposed to Economic Corridor but Federation has to remove apprehensions of smaller provinces and work on this project should have been started in Balochistan then in Lahore.
