Jhansi:Â The outspoken Uma Bharti said on Monday Narendra Modi should emulate Atal Bihari Vajpayee. She found Modi wanting in the art of oratory.
“Vajpayeeji was a good orator. People say that there has been no orator like him in Indian politics. If you have paid attention then you would know that Modi is not a good orator. People go to his rallies not to listen to his speech but to tell him that they want him to change this country and they stand by him,” Bharti said, while campaigning in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, from where she has been nominated by BJP to contest the general election.
Vajpayee, who effortlessly ran a coalition government of over 20 parties for six years, is renowned for his oratory, both in Parliament and outside. Bharti, who describes herself as a monk or sanyasin, had served as minister in his government.
She was, however, expelled from the BJP in 2005 for “indiscipline” and was re-inducted only in 2011.
