Devlet Bahçeli, leader of the Nationalist Movement Party (MHP), has strongly criticized President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an for demanding votes for his former ruling party, while also slamming the prime minister, using a ?camera prank? analogy.

 ?A personality who puts his honor on and off like a shirt, who turns off his swear for objectivity like a light bulb, cannot draw the future of Turkey and cannot convince the people anymore,? Bahçeli said Feb. 8 during a meeting in the Central Anatolian province of K?r?ehir.

Bahçeli had earlier promised to hold a public meeting wherever Erdo?an does, saying Erdo?an?s tour is aimed at collecting votes for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) for the June 7 elections.

Erdo?an held a meeting in K?r?ehir on Jan. 30. Bahçeli, who said earlier this was a judicial trauma, as he argues Erdo?an?s wording is against the principle of objectivity, has named his chase behind Erdo?an the ?Our Breath on Your Neck Meetings,? with K?r?ehir as its debut.

?An x-copy prime minister whose stance is obscure, and who changes his route in accordance with Erdo?an, has fallen to a poor and weak position,? Bahçeli said.

?Due to [Prime Minister Ahmet] Davuto?lu?s insufficiency, and the fact he is a prime minister resembling a camera prank, Erdo?an himself got involved in the process, bearing everything. He demanded 400 deputies for the AKP,? he said.

Erdo?an once again appealed for votes for the AKP, without explicitly giving the party?s name, declaring recently ?400 lawmakers? are needed for a ?new Turkey.? 

Bahçeli said Erdo?an?s meetings violate his constitutional duties.
