Narendra Modi's address to the World Economic Forum: 'Teleprompter shut down ... Great speaker insulted.
Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in India and former President of the Congress Party, had said a lot about Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Rae Bareli during the 2019 elections. Can't say anything. '
Social media users in India have been sharing this old clip of Rahul Gandhi since last night with the hashtags 'teleprompter' and 'teleprompter PM'.
The reason for the top trend in India is that last night Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whom his party calls a 'great speaker', was addressing the World Economic Forum when suddenly his speech slowed down and apparently It was as if words had ceased to accompany them.
The clip of this speech of Narendra Modi has gone viral on social media. It can be clearly seen that the Prime Minister says, "We are the mood of Indians, we are the talent of Indians ..." but then the words of Narendra Modi get lost. For the next 13 seconds or so, they sometimes look to their left and sometimes to their right. After a 13-second pause, he appears to be pulling an air plug out of one of his ears and asks, "Are you listening right?" Prime Minister.
Narendra Modi would then ask, "Is our voice reaching everyone?" The host says again, "We can hear you very well."
It was too late for this clip of Narendra Modi to come on social media that users started asking what is going on?

Following the clip, several Indian media outlets claimed that they were looking at their teleprompter, which may have been damaged. However, several sources claimed that the problem was with the teleprompter. No, it was a technical matter.
However, shortly after the issue, the Indian Prime Minister's statement resumed, which was being translated into several languages in a timely manner.
However, whatever the nature of the problem, after this clip came to light, many users started sharing Rahul Gandhi's 2019 clip in which he was saying that 'Narendra Modi has nothing left to say, he tele Talk to the prompter, there's a controller from behind (someone controls). '

However, in his speech at the World Economic Forum, Prime Minister Modi mentioned various reforms of the BJP government, calling India the "best country" for investment and the "best time" to invest in India.
He was addressing the Davos Agenda 2022 of the World Economic Forum online.
After this technical glitch, Rahul Gandhi once again tweeted, "Even such a false teleprompter could not be found."
Opposition groups called for a halt to the protests, with pro-PM activists and BJP activists calling the glitch a "technical glitch" by the World Economic Forum and similar tweets from different accounts. Consumers have also called it a 'toolkit' of the K-BJP.
A teleprompter is an electronic machine that presents text to the screen for its user and the speaker is able to present his accent and style more accurately.
It is also called 'cue card'. During large gatherings, it is mounted on either side of the stage, while in the world of TV, it is under the lens of a professional camera, from which you can read the text.
Discussion on social media
Journalist and writer Sugata Srinivas Raju, apparently mocking BJP supporters, tweeted: "This is an international conspiracy to discredit our Prime Minister. That fact must be taken into account. "
This is an international conspiracy to defame our PM. Should be probed!!! https://t.co/a65FaMHbGr
Journalist Rohini Singh made several tweets about it, in one of which he wrote: It seems that a helpless technician is going to get a job in the Prime Minister's Office today. I hope he is not accused of sedition / UAPA. The media in Noida will be looking for a pure link.
Seems some poor technicians in the PMO will lose their job today. Just hope they aren’t charged with sedition/UAPA and what not. Noida media must be on standby to take out some Khalistani link to the embarrassment today!
National award winning filmmaker Vinod Kapoor tweeted: “Incredible. It is a pity that as soon as the teleprompter failed in the World Economic Forum, Narendra Modi could not utter a word, meaning a word and his stuttering after that is even more painful.
Journalist and co-founder of ALT News Muhammad Zubair, while posting the viral clip, wrote: “This is the speech of Prime Minister Modi. Someone is saying from behind, "Sir, you ask them once that everything is connected." It seems that this is not a case of teleprompter. In his later 20-minute speech, he did not look down on the edges. The teleprompter may be in front.
Here is WEF version of PM Modi's speech, someone in the background says, "Sir aap unse ek baar poochen, ki sab jud gaye kya?".
Congress National Coordinator Guru Pandhi wrote: Speaking in Davos, the teleprompter went off and the 'great speaker' had no idea what to say in his speech. Insulted. "
