Goons Get Red-Carpet, Gentlemen Shown the Door in BJP: Omar
JAMMU; By denying ticket to Senior leader Jaswant Singh and inducting Sri Ram Sene chief Pramod Muthalik in the party, BJP is showing doors to its senior leaders but offering red-carpet to "goons", Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah today said.
"So, gentlemen like #JaswantSingh will be shown the door & goons like #Muthalik will receive the red carpet," Omar wrote on twitter.
A sulking Singh, after denial of ticket from Barmer Lok Sabha seat, today filed his nomination papers as an Independent.
Omar had yesterday hit out at BJP, saying there was more democracy in "family-run" parties like his National Conference than in "parties with a difference".
"I dare say there is more democracy in so-called 'family run' parties like JKNC than in 'parties with a difference'," Omar wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
"So, gentlemen like #JaswantSingh will be shown the door & goons like #Muthalik will receive the red carpet," Omar wrote on twitter.
So gentlemen like #JaswantSingh will be shown the door & goons like #Muthalik will receive the red carpet. Be afraid India, be very afraid.
