Politicians as communicators

Over the years I have found that politicians are excellent examples of good communicators. They orchestrate information, emotions, human relationships, interactions, money so smoothly and with such panache that each one who is in orbit around them is in a dizzy spell of words, power and dreams.
Look at the IPL scenario. The press is dancing to the tune of sensationalism of news. Modi and Tharoor are trying to outlive each other and the public is swinging like a pendulum to keep abreast facts.
Who really gains in the bargain? The politicians. Their fine tuned manipulation of situations, behind the scenes adjustments and then the grasp on the language while dealing with the press and the public alike is really an example of effective communication.
The spade should be called a spade only when required, core group should be kept motivated and the press should be at the beck and call of the communicator.
Look at the Indian political scenario closely and you will find effective communication is flowing with the ease of a hot knife in butter.
