Which politician of our time is the best orator?
From my limited listening on TV, I would rate Arun Shourie as #1. He is really intelligent speaker and very sharp.
At #2 I find Meenakashi Lekhi these days; she is bundle of power.
I have also appreciated Smriti Irani a lot for her ability of bulldozing her way and putting opponents in retreat mode.
There is also Manish Tewari who is too tough opponent for anyone, though he thrusts his jurisprudence everywhere.
I am also a big fan of Ravishankar Prasad.
I used to believe that Nitish Kumar would be good, but so far I have found him crafty (his eyes and facial expressions show slyness) and he secretly shoots opponents without taking names as if it is some virtuous act.
From the rest, many sound anything from being arrogant, irritatingly monotonous, messy, hideous, racist to even absolute savages. There is very little chance of enjoying presence of politicians in TV debates except for a few of them who are informative, sensible and eloquent.
