PML-N leader Attaullah Tarar has said that PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari is mistaken if he thinks he can win elections from Lahore, reminding him that he does not have any “on-ground presence” and voters in the region.

“Those who do not have any on-ground presence here, those whose voters are not present here, who think that they can buy votes after spending some amount of money. This is not a business […] this is an election,” Tarar said while addressing a press conference in Lahore.

He said that the PPP incorrectly decided to contest elections from Lahore as the party did not have a vote bank in the city.
