Modi is not a good orator, he can't match Atal Bihari Vajpayee, says Uma Bharti

Narendra Modi is "not a good orator" and people go to his rallies to show support rather than listen to him, outspoken BJP leader Uma Bharti said on Tuesday.

"Have you heard Modi making speeches? Atal Bihari Vajpayee is the best orator of our party. Nobody equals his oratory skills in Indian politics," she said, addressing a BJP workers meet in Jhansi from where she has been nominated by the party for the Lok Sabha polls.

"If you have analysed deeply, Modi is not a good orator. But many people flock to his rallies to listen to his speech, but do you know why? The crowd goes to Modi's rallies to show support, rather than to listen to him," she said.
