India 2019: The Best Speech Of This Election Season

Granted this speech by Akbar Owaisi is not from this election season, it looks like it might be from two years back, but I watched it only a few days ago for the first time, and so I am going to count it as something from this election season, besides its relevance, if anything, has only gone up. It is a marvelous speech. I hope his party expands to the urban centers of India with this focus on the nuts and bolts of empowerment and development.

Akbar Owaisi has always been very impressive when it comes to delivery. He is a natural. He is the Virat Kohli or oratory in Indian politics. But in this speech what also comes forth is he has thoroughly done his homework. Indian politicians are not known to do that. They simply get up and do the stream of consciousness thing. Here Akbar can be seen going from page to page, reading out statistic after statistic. He successfully impresses upon his voters that their votes are valuable. If they vote right, they can get more government money to show up in their neighborhoods.

I am impressed. I wish Akbar Owaisi the best in the next state and local elections in Mumbai. I think their next target after Hyderabad is Mumbai. They are trying to expand into Mumbai.

Owaisi exhibits a high level of emotional intelligence in the way he presents himself.
