Accusing Narendra Modi of sidelining and disrespecting his senior BJP leaders, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said if he could not respect his 'family members', how could he respect the people of the country.
"Modi is not respecting his family elders, how can he respect the elders of this country. It is for you people to think about it," Omar told a public rally here.
"We respect elders and seniors whatever is our religion, culture and tradition, but I feel sorry that Modi is not respecting them - whether it is L K Advani, Jaswant Singh or others ... One after another they have not been respected by him," he said.
"Those who do not respect the people in their homes, they cannot the respect the people on the streets," Omar said while taking a dig on Modi.
Ridiculing BJP for the much talked about Modi wave, he said, "BJP has the habit of creating a propaganda of (Modi) wave in the country. They are in the habit of doing it. During Atal Bihari Vajpayee ruled NDA government they felt India Shinning wave. They advanced the elections and that election wiped out NDA government and they were forced out of power for 10 years."
"After UPA-I, they again resorted to such a propaganda that UPA and Manmohan Singh have failed. But what happened? Dr Manhohan Singh became the Prime Minister again," he said.
"They are again creating a wave of propaganda...But there is no such wave. They will get nothing in Jammu and Kashmir from this wave... UPA will again become victorious and Rahul Gandhi will be the next prime minister", he said.
