Mr Yusuf told reporters in Kaghan area after inaugurating a hotel that the ruling PTI had miserably failed to address inflation and socioeconomic issues.

'The sugar price has jumped to Rs90 per kg, while petroleum products are not available at filling stations across the province, especially Hazara division, due to the incapability of rulers,' Mr Yusuf told reporters in Kaghan area after inaugurating a hotel on Monday.

Mr Yusuf, who is also the parliamentary leader of his party in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly, said wrong policies of the government had led to petrol shortages to the misery of the people.
