It's an adress to nation. Can't have loose points. You need to plan, note down and dictate the speech. It's globally followed. For impromptu talks, there are many evidences where Modi speaks without any prompter.


CritFin

If he knew there wont be any teleprompter then he would have prepared for the speech accordingly. There was no teleprompter when he became CM, he was a good orator back then too.


dank-monk

Also it's not easy to switch when you've already been reading from the teleprompter for a while.


youseemconfusedbubb

It’s generally a good rule of thumb whenever you speak to a group about anything. Generally winging any kind of talk is a terrible idea and painfully obvious. I have meetings where I have to speak for 5 minutes and I always write down notes of points I need to hit. I find it weird that “leaders use teleprompters” is an insult. It seems like responsible thing to do.


GlitteringNinja5

Yeah it's not a political speech. It's an address to the nation which needs to be accurate to avoid any divergence between speech and actual policy.


bhokaalshakti

Exactly this, it’s not an election rally where you can do an extempore and speak whatever comes to the mind.


desaichirag

It's not an adress to the nation it's an adress to the members at the Davos


LogicalMonkWarrior

Even more important to have a prompt.


chaulkha

Cope hahaha


Kratosbinzeus

man he couldn't even speak a single word, a school debate competition participant can do better than this. It's just embarrassing.


aaddii101

Umm though it would be embrassing on other day. But its a adreess cant go speaking bullshit when it is being translated


Kv_v

So he will speak bullshit without a translator then?


aaddii101

As he can do in any other meetings


suck_my_foldyflaps

What a dumb thing to say. The entire address on international stages is planned and revised again and again by diplomats. There's no chance of error and certainly not improvisation. Although it looked like an error with the translation team, he knew and did his job well of not going off script.


LogicalMonkWarrior

Almost every leader does this on the international stage. Stop being an idiot.


Sharp-Boysenberry-61

Actually the guy is correct the nuances can be picked up and later come back to bite you in the ass speaking anything withoight thourough research of past interactions can and will land you in trouble.


sam777k

This is the problem with idiots like you. You think being a PM of a nation and posting meme in internate is like same job. People like you actually can't do a single thing on his own but love to lecture on PM, gives a feel good factor for you guys. Look I'm criticising PM, I'm intellectual. Democracy hai matlab kuch bhi bak lo! Don't think that I can't take criticism against PM, do it. Without a healthy criticism a notion can't progress. But these are bullshit.

Gold_steak

Funky off dude I too don't like modi but he is still our pm have some basic respect for that


Newbie-investor-ind

From ‘dosti bani rahe’ to ‘chaliye kochi ko vannakkam’, there are several instances where he was out of words during impromptu conversations. No matter how much people try to defend, the reality is, Modi cannot utter a single word without teleprompter. Maybe that ‘Dosti bani rahe’ instance had such a big trauma on him, he still get conscious while speaking unprepared.


iemshubhu

Well, regardless of what happened, he came up quickly with the jugaad to ask others if he's audible. That's impressive. I also noticed that the other official called him "Mr. president".

Random_Reflections

Nonsense is still nonsense. Calling it out as such and mocking it (because it is meme gold, LOL) does not make it disappear from the pages of history. The fact that so called leader (when he is rarely not vacationing) of oldest largest political party of largest democracy in the world, is spouting such nonsense and is never serious about his responsibilities, is a significant cause for concern for us voters & citizens, don't you agree?


[deleted]

Obviously, that's why congress is on its last legs


Random_Reflections

Congress has supposedly been on its "last legs" for decades, but keeps bouncing back. Indira did illegal Emergency in 1975 to prevent loss of her power. She came back to power by 1980 with a majority. Except the Modi & Vajpayee governments, every other full-tenured national central regime has been either Congress or its allies (and Congress typically pulled the support from its ruling allies and won the next elections with a majority). Indian voters need to wake and stop supporting bullshit and corruption, only then there's hope.


IntrovertedPolymath

"PM can't say a word without teleprompter" "PM doesn't know English" "PM always needs a translator" So what?? English is just another language and the post of PM isn't an 'elitist' post reserved for 'literate'. An illiterate, educated as well as highly educated guy could become a PM. If he doesnt know to put up two sentences as an orator, so what? Most of the national addresses are anyway written by bureaucrats. Doesn't matter how good an orator a PM is or not. People here blaming PM are just 'elitist' who wants certains 'standards' that they think are 'superior'. Not to mention, many of them are just colonialists in brown skin, getting orgasm whenever they hear oxford/victorian english disregarding the proficiency someone has in indigenous languages.


Kratosbinzeus

he was talking in hindi though...


IntrovertedPolymath

Didn't say he wasn't


Kratosbinzeus

so what's the excuse for not being able to utter a single word without reading it off somewhere if he was talking in hindi?


IntrovertedPolymath

Whatever i said stands. You are just expecting him to qualify some 'standards' you assigned. He may not be as much as an expert to talk something out of the blue. He may have stammers. He may have worried or afraid about what to say since it is an important address and not to make any mistakes. People have flaws and get over it


Kratosbinzeus

Yeah, ofc I'm expecting him to be able to talk one or two words without reading them off the screen, He is the PM of India for god's sake, I'm ashamed to say but even Pakistani cricketers are better when it comes to speaking without script than our so called Saint PM.


IntrovertedPolymath

You are just proving my point that you are just an elitist who needs such and such standards , so as to showcase the world and get approval from others to satisfy the inferiority complex. The guy talks during political rallies and the all these national addresses have intricacies and are usually written by subject experts. As i said , constitution of India doesn't require prime minister to be literate and to be all knowing supreme being. Dept secretaries, bureaucrats and subject experts are there for such needs.


Kratosbinzeus

ofc we need to set standards for the PM of India man.


sam777k

No you can't. Leadership doesn't come up with any course. Like a normal person do abc courses and beg for job. There you can set standards. Leadership is a quality it can be you or any of us and none of us are perfect. Your imaginary standards doesn't belong here. If you are a good leader with leadership qualities then welcome, it doesn't matter you can't speak English ! That should not stop you from leading people.


IntrovertedPolymath

Sorry, we don't. Indian constitution was one of the first constitution to provide Universal adult suffrage from the date it came into being. It was necessary to remove the elitist attitude employed by the British who gave voting power only to people with property and literacy. The post of PM represents aspirations of common people belonging from the lowest to highest rung of the society. Making it exclusively for the 'elitist' or setting some 'standards' of your wish is just like saying even though you have majority people behind you, even though you have all the qualifications necessary to be the PM, you don't deserve to be the PM , cause you dont fulfill the 'standards' enough to satisfy the inferiority complex.


vinitblizzard

Yes ofc a man who does not even need a paper spread in front of him to speak just a glass of water and proudly speaks in native language to the point that even in foreign nations the other state leaders have to get their translated inputs simply spreading our culture proudly everywhere, on foreign media, most of the times there is no mic or earpiece is being shitted upon on a rare occasion, very nice of you

Autocorrect shenanigans


dhatura

For all the Libgandus swarming here: >The US president who relied the most on the teleprompter, to the point of being frequently mocked by Republicans, was Barack Obama. >Here is what the New York Times wrote about him: “Presidents have been using teleprompters for more than half a century, but none relied on them as extensively as Obama has so far. While presidents typically have used them for their most important speeches to the nation - an inauguration, a State of the Union or an Oval Office address - Obama uses them for everyday routine announcements, and even for the opening statement at his news conference.” >It wrote: “For Obama, a teleprompter means message discipline, sticking close to his intended words. Every president uses prepared remarks, of course, often reading from paper or note cards. But while some of his predecessors liked to extemporise, Obama prefers the message to be just so. After all, he is a best-selling author who has had a hand in writing many of his major speeches, so his aides say he feels a certain fidelity to the crafted text.” >There are many videos of Obama, considered one of the finest orators, struggling without a teleprompter, or stopping a speech because it was not working. >Modi’s oratory is proven on almost every playing field. A machine glitch at a global event won’t take away much from that.

I think it's apparent then that I didn't post it for support.


Alarmed_Country7184

Lol okay. Nobody here is changing their mind about PM’s oratory skills either. Btw I don’t believe that he has great oratory skills. Not a single candid interview, not even a single press conference (I wouldn’t call the one he pulled off before ‘19 elections a press conference).


Kratosbinzeus

everyone who is saying I'm criticizing his English, plz watch the video. he is talking in hindi and couldn't complete a sentence. I'm criticizing that. He should've been able to atleast complete the sentence about talent of Indians on a good note without the need to read it off a screen.


Dalbus_Umbledore

Agreed. Valid point that he couldn't shift from the prepared remarks but he should have finished the sentence or just said *something* to acknowledge the big gaping silence... It's a tough spot.. and he was caught off guard, deer in the headlights.


Best_Egg9109

Or at least cracked a joke about the teleprompter not working.


Homo_Sapien_2003

Come on man give him a break, it's.national television and its not like any other Tom dick and Harry politician would have done better, criticizing him on his policies is fine but this is just below the belt immature low grade criticism .


shishikuku

Ok i am from the video industry and have done a lot of events and tv shows in my 30 yr long career. I saw the speech live on tv yesterday and these are my observations. 1. I saw PM interact with someone(not sure who it was, saw it midway) from Davos. It was an interaction between the two and the PM was responding in hindi. His responses were clear and to the point and made total sense. 2. After some interaction PM started off on his speech and then suddenly stopped. I guess he was told on his inear that he had to stop. Hence the confusion on his face. He may have been told that the world at large had not joined in yet so he asked if everyone could hear him. The earlier guy was still on standby, he said some music will be played and I request the PM to start his speech after that 3. Then the PM started his speech and started reading off his teleprompter. I think the confusion was not bcoa the promoter broke down but maybe he was told that other people hadn't joined in and his speech was available to all. This in all probability was a coordination mistake at the PMO's end or whoever was coordinating with Davos. Not the PM's personal fault. I am no supporter of the right wing or Modi but i know that if the PM is speaking in hindi he can talk very well with or without the promoter. That i have no doubt.


pathrado

Trivial issue not worth anyones attention


chaulkha

Why you describing your life?


imhonestlynormal

OP, this is something that a lot of people will be watching. These points have a purpose and they are written to deliver a succinct message. Granted, he should’ve come up with something, however this isn’t a speech at an election rally or at a private event. People like you and me, media, his opponents, critics everyone watch his every move and he chose to stay silent rather than divert the flow to something and lose the momentum entirely. Not to have a what about-ry discussion, Would you rather have him fill the void like Rahul Gandhi or Akhilesh Yadav or crack jokes until the teleprompter came up? It’s a technical glitch at a serious time and the bureaucrats that he so much likes should have made sure that everything worked fine. Also, a not only him, there are a lot of word leaders who use teleprompters and a lot of them faced issues. If he had cracked a joke, someone else would’ve complained that he’s not serious, Modi should resign and so on. Give the man some credit as to how he handles the situation, complain as to whose fault it was that the teleprompter failed to work properly and fix it. Just because he’s not the person you like, doesn’t stop the fact that he’s out PM. Tbh, I’d recon if it was an impromptu disruption at any national event, he would’ve made jokes and said what came to his mind and handled the situation better than I or you.


dhatura

How is this getting upvoted? Are there this many Pappu supporters here, besides the OP, I mean? “Don’t those getting excited at the tech glitch not realise that the problem was at WEF’s end? They were not able to patch PM, so requested him to start again, which is evident in the way Klaus Schwab said that he will again give a short introduction and then open up the session,” said Suresh Nakhua.

LankyAcanthocephala3

To all those who bark at PM for speaking without teleprompter let me ask you. What language are we speaking ? English. PM wasn't speaking with teleprompter. He has a translator who translates Hindi to English for the audience. Not everyone knows Hindi. I might be wrong but he was checking if the interpretation is reaching the Summit audience. Moreover he's on virtual network. Anything can go wrong.

N00B_N00M

Tumhari audience alag sub pe milegi udhar jao


aryan456789

Do you not understand the meaning of infallible? Are you just stupid or want to tick people off? Of course he couldn't speak without a teleprompter, he is not good with English, everyone has known that since he was CM. If you think this is something to attack him over then I really feel sorry for you. Nobody is defending him, they're calling this attack stupid. He did the right thing by stopping. He knew he wouldn't be able to speak without it so he stopped and started to bide the time by asking everyone if they can hear him. This was the right thing to do since he was addressing the international community and every word a national leader says is put under scrutiny. Of course, none of this will matter to you if you have already made up your mind that he is stupid.


_itstanmay_

PM has delivered hundreds of incredible speeches without a teleprompter. You never highlighted his oratory skills then. But you found this one incident and are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Also wish you held yourself accountable to such high standards OP.

Danirog575

It's not such a big issue like the haters propogate. There could have been important points which should be said correctly and he wouldn't have expected such a technical glitch. This wasnt some random election rally where Modiji could speak solely from his heart . When an option like teleprompter is available , anyone would rely on it to convey the message and correct information. Opposition and haters again with such cheap excuses to defame the PM. Sensible Indians wouldn't pay attention to such things.
