Although Indian is known for the uneducated politicians overcrowding the ground of politics, there are many Indian politicians who can speak fluently on any subject. Politicians like Yashwant Sinha, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Narsingha Rao, and Pranab Mukherjee are quite scholarly and witty.
In fact, Atal Bihari Vajpayee was a poet too. There are many such examples which display his wit in the political dialogues.

Check out the following examples of the display of wit in Indian politics:
• When one Pakistani politician remarked that Pakistan is incomplete without Kashmir, Mr. Vajpayee replied that even India is incomplete without Pakistan.
• When Ramvilas Paswan attacked BJP saying that there is “Ram” in his name, Atal Bihari Vajpayee said that there is “Ram” even in the word Haram.
• At one more such incident, someone commented that it takes two hands to clap, and Mr. Vajpayee replied that we can snap with one finger (Mr. Vajpayee giving real Thanos vibes even before Infinity War).
• The latest example is that of the “Chowkidaar” dialogue going on between Congress and BJP. When Rahul Gandhi said “Chowkidaar Chor Hai”, BJP came up with “Mai Bhi Chowkidaar” campaign.
• When someone attacked PM Modi saying to blow mud on him, he said, the more they blow mud on him, the more his lotus will bloom.
