Former MNA Malik Aurangzeb announced joining the PTI on the occasion.
Imran Khan claimed thathe was not craving for the post of prime minister, and merely wanted to end the status quo, which widened the gulf between the rich and the poor.
He claimed that the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa were realising the change in their lives, as the PTI-led ruling coalition in the province had taken steps to eliminate corruption in government departments and officials were made subservient to people.
He said that every school going child was being provided with free books and that first time in the history of KP the students` enrolment ratio had been increased to a reasonable level.
Imran Khan said that middle stump of the railways minister Saad Rafique had been uprooted after the election tribunal`s decision ordering re-election in NA-125 constituency.
