“Had Modi respected them, he would have ensured their photographs got due place in BJP's frontline posters,” Mishra said.
He charged that the problem with Modi was that he considers himself larger than the party and, like Gujarat, he would try to usurp the entire party at the national level as well.
During 2013 Assembly election campaign, disappearance of Modi's photographs from the posters dotting the state had become a major issue and was seen as a major tussle between him and Advani's protege, Chouhan.
Advani had also compared Chouhan's leadership with Vajpayee. However, Modi's photographs were later given due prominence in the posters and banners in the state.
During a Google Hangout session when a person wanted to know why the photograph of Modi was missing from the background that prominently displayed the pictures of Vivekananda, Vajpayee and Advani, Chouhan had replied: “No one should worry about it as Modi-ji resides in my heart.”
