People of the AKP are really interesting!  They cannot use a “common language” anyway.  As they cannot use a “common language” their works do not match too.  In summary, there is no tie in “their actions” as there is no tie in their “discourse” too.
 
For example, the President and the AKP leader Erdogan distributes “tea” to people in their rallies. The President makes a gesture to those who come to listen him and give them something to store as a souvenir. 
 
But the AKP’s Ankara candidate Özhaseki doesn’t approve it.
 
And see what he says: “ saying that ‘I can distribute tea’ ” is populism, is to deceive people. 
If saying that “I can distribute tea” is populism, then what “distributing tea” is?
 
Only God knows,  while the AKP’s Ankara candidate is making this speech, must not know that the President Erdogan makes a gesture to the listeners and distributes “tea” at the rallies. As he rails to his opponents by hearing that they will do like this, finally he bit on granite.
 
Which of the AKP’s people accept that the President Erdogan makes “populism” or belive that he deceives the “public”? 
 
This statement is the same with the statement of “biting the granite”.
 
Yes, these words are the words were said by the AKP’s Ankara candidate Özhaseki:
 
“There are two types of political understandings among mayors. One of them is the old populist approach. 
 
In the morning, I will leave milk at your door. I will distribute tea from evening.
 
The next day, I will give you one fat loaf and all that. 
 
That won’t end. Everybody distributes what is available. 
 
Let distributing milk, the municipality has its own budget, go out, people queue, give the money to them and get rid of it then!
 
There isn’t a life like that.
 
But there are those who continue to say this, assuming that they have found a response.
 
Undoubtedly, this explanation can be regarded as an unfortunate explanation in terms of timing.
 
While Özhaseki is criticising by saying that there is still ones who think like that, his leader is distributing tea directly. 
 
In other words, he transcends the stage of thought and and performs direct action. 
 
Does such a remarkable discourse and action inconsistency suit the spokespersons of the ruling party? Özhaseki says that these promises will not come to an end but if he continues to make such statements, his politicial life may end.
