Atal Bihari Vajpayee: The 3-Time PM Who Captivated India With His Oratory | Read

Former Prime Atal Bihari Vajpayee died at Delhi's AIIMS hospital on Thursday. One of India's most charismatic politicians, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was known for his oratory and speeches that were known for their poetic flourish and dry wit. While he was fluent in English, his speeches were at its best in Hindi. With his well-timed humour, and carefully-chosen words delivered with trademark long pauses, Atal Bihari Vajpayee resonated with the masses - the common man, politicians, bureaucrats, students and world leaders.
