Unhappy over the profuse display of his photographs in the Bharatiya Janata Party's 'Vision Document', Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee is understood to have pulled up party leaders, including general secretary Pramod Mahajan.
Vajpayee is believed to have told the party leadership that only a few photographs of his should have been used and they should have shown him the document before it was released on Tuesday, party sources said.
Party president M Venkaiah Naidu, Mahajan and other leaders had met and presented a copy of the document to the PM immediately after its release.
However, Vajpayee had no reservation about the contents of the document, the sources said.
The document, prepared by a team led by Union Law Minister Arun Jaitley, was shown even to Deputy Prime Minister Lal Kishenchand Advani before its release.
The 48-page document has Vajpayee's photographs in all the pages.
Opposition parties had criticised Vajpayee's projection in the document, describing it as "personal photo album".
