Published 22 Jun, 2012 12:17pm 3 min read

Raja Pervez Ashraf a.k.a Raja rental held accountable for the $5 Billion Rental power scam, is now Zardari’s best bet. The man reportedly born in Sanghar has been accused and tried for many corrupt cases and allegations and quite popularly known for his scams.

Not only this, but because of the same rapport, he was forced to resign from the cabinet by the Supreme Court. Suddenly lucky, Mr. Raja Rental, is now our only hope, as put forward by the government for the PM’s candidate. The game now becomes quite interesting as we see Zardari’s 12th batsman taking on the nation for the most unanticipated innings in years.

Ashraf has been heavily criticised for his role as water and power minister with serious allegations of corruption and controversy. He also served as IT minister until the Supreme Court dismissed Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on Tuesday. Ashraf is the covering candidate for Makhdoom Shahabuddin after the former textile minister was issued arrest warrant over drugs scandal. It is believed that Ashraf is the leading candidate for premiership

The new prime minister will have to face the same pressure of writing letter to Swiss, triggering the possibility of calling elections before the due date.

Soon after the news appeared of Ashraf filing for PM nomination, trends, by the name ,‘Raja Rental’ surfaced on the social network, twitter; the title became popular among the masses after his invlovement in the infamous Rental Power Plants.

Following reactions feature popular tweets stating expectations from various opinion leaders in the country
