Actor Speechless on Stage as Prompter Fails to Prompt!

That's why no press conference in eight years. No provision for any teleprompter displaying pre-scripted text.

<<Once the glitch (possibly the teleprompter malfunctioning) was rectified, Modi started his speech all over again.

The clip of the Prime Minister’s pause was being widely shared on social media.

Journalist Rohini Singh tweeted: “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!”

Gaurav Pandhi, whose Twitter bio identifies him as national coordinator of the Congress’s digital communications and social media, posted: “While addressing the WEF at Davos, the ‘teleprompter’ went off and the GREAT ORATOR had no idea of his speech and what to speak.”>>

Was it teleprompter's fault!!!?

III. How " strength" is spelled by the genius, that too, while reading out a chit - right before him, at a highest level meeting with China: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4IFJzmsmxA>.

IV. One of the rare occasions when there's no prompter: <https://youtu.be/sGpTkxdJG2E>.

Mistake not, there're scores of others.

And, on top of that, no press conference in eight years - a record of sorts.
