Well the deliverance of Shahbaz has helped PML-N retain and enhance its Vote Bank but that Orthodox Ideological Vote Bank of every party has exhausted in the Urban Areas of Pakistan and that of Rural is also drifting away.
Voter is very sharp now. People of Pakistan are already fed up of the system. Unrest is widespread, even at a road signal, people start criticizing politicians that why have they not built a fly-over yet. Nation is frustrated due to Load-Shedding Jinn and scarcity of Gas and High Prices.
The way PPP, ANP, PML-Q have been thwarted by the people is an eye-opener for everyone. If PML-N doesnot deliver this time again then they will have to settle permanently in Saudi Arabia.
Yes there is Foreign Pressure i.e
1. Saudi Arabia
2. US
Mian Sahib is greatly obliged to above powers and will try to Govern Pakistan in a manner pleasant to KSA & USA.
On the Other hand, IP Gas Pipe Line and Gawadar Port which were deliberately done by PPPP at the end of their regime so as to avoid the foreign pressure and shift the same to upcoming Government, are a great challenge to PML-N.
If PML-N does not deliver this time they are out and next PM might be from PTI.
Biggest challenges are
1 Drone Attacks
2. Load Shedding and Short Fall
3. TTP and Terrorism, Balochistan Issue
4. Continuation of IP-Gas Pipeline
5 Gawadar Port and Sino-Pak Relations
6. Unemployment
7. Water Crisis
8. Sectarianism
9. NATO Supplies and US Exit
10. Relations with GHQ (not the Govt but Nawaz Sharif)
11. Steps to save the skin for next elections
12. Tackling of NAB, FBR, Appointments of Next CJ & COAS, Karachi Issue
13. Education
14. Relations with Iran (such that not to earn displeasure of KSA & USA, UAE)
15. Inclusion of Baloch Nationalists in the mainstream Politics and take them in confidence and save Balochistan from being another Bengal
16. Relations with India and China & Russia
Well, the situation is poised badly for new Government both Externally and Internally i.e
Unrest in Balochistan
Talibans
Drones
Energy & Water Crisis
Crime Rates very high
Society of Pakistan in a state of high degree of unrest
US has encircled us and India is our open enemy. We do not enjoy good terms with Moscow too and US is anti-Pakistan since 2010 or so.
Pakistan is at the lowest ebb as far as the energy crisis is concerned. Factories closed, industries shifted, Load shedding etc etc.
Kala Bagh dam was a solution but has been burried by our political leaders. When we go to Tehran, UAE starts closing its doors for Pakistanis for jobs and KSA gets infuriated and USA....you know well. All these guys do not help us at all at that level, what they do is just helping us increase the capacity of Tarbella and Mangla and do not help building big dams. So neither they help us completely nor let us go to Tehran. So its a challenge.
How new Govt tackles it, only Allah knows.
Now drones.
US has clearly said that they won't stop drones. Will the matter be solved diplomatically????? There is no way that we counter-attack drones via PAF and then face the fate afterwards. That is a big issue.
Although, last 2 year witnessed some good news about Moscow & Islamabad relations but we will have to see the tilt of Nawaz Sharif who is known to on the US side. How Mian Sahib gets on the same page as that of GHQ regarding Pak-Russia relations is another debate (Establishment is tilted to Moscow now, COAS visits to Moscow etc).
US war in Afghanistan is also very tough chapter for New Govt. US is planning to exit from Afghan in 2014, its fallout on Pakistan and our reaction is very important. Will it again be like Cold War?????Leaving Pak again to clean up the mess again.
Military Operations in WANA & other parts of the country to suppress the unrest also demand due consideration.
This is not the bed of roses for new Govt and also we are expecting too much. PML-N or any other Govt does not carry a Alladdin's Lamp that all the issues will be solved immediately.
