Will u please elaborate what do you mean by 'poor show' because when i look at the progress of pti in a short span of 4 months, to me its quite impressive n far much better than that of punjab's or other provincial governments though conditions in kpk are worst and resources meager. for instance in education sector introduction of biometric system, enrollment of children,law and order- online fir system, steps to curb corruption as well as eradication of thana culture, improvement in conditions of hospitals, right to information act and many more.A few people from D.I khan to whom i came in contact with told me that patwaris there stopped taking bribes since many have been suspended on account of corruption. besides a comprehensive anticorruption act is in the offing.
Second if from 'a section of press' you are referring to najam setti, saleem safi or other such biased anchorpersons then sorry mate i dont agree with what they report. but for the sake of discussion even if we suppose what they said is right even then pti proves to be far better than pml-n and ppp because these corrupt parties dont even give a damn to public opinion.5 saal tk log gaalian dete hein pr ye hakoomat se chipki rehti hein aur inko maar maar kr nikalna prta he kyun k corruption k liye aati hein n not to serve people. agr 4 mahine baad hi pti deliver na krne ki bina pr hakoomat chorne ko tayar he is ke bawajood ke koi os ko destabilise nhe krraha (as you mentioned) tu ye bhi os k non-corrupt or sincere hone ki nishani he warna kon 5 saal ki badshahat chorta he itni asaani se is bdnaseeb mulk mein.
