Prime Minister Narendra Modi is known for his limited interactions with press. The Indian Prime Minister has not addressed even a single press conference in his eight years of tenure. PM Modi, generally, avoids media interactions and rather keeps it one-sided to addressing the press with necessary announcement. This was highlighted during his Europe visit in Germany when Chancellor Olaf and PM Modi did not take questions from press after announcing trad agreemnts, reportedly at the insistence of PM Modi.
However, the PM made a rare appearance on Tuesday in front of press in Denmark, a video of which has now gone viral. PM Modi found himself at the centre of attention when he was surrounded by a bunch of reporters while he was on his way to a summit in Denmark. Alarmed over this, Modi said ‘Oh My God’ which was recorded on video.
The short clip has been going viral on social media with #OhMyGod trending nationally.
People on social media took potshots at the PM, highlighting his discomfort at facing the press, which according to them was visible in the viral video.
Sharing the viral clip, Indian Youth Congress (IYC) President Srinivas BV took a jibe at PM and said: “Life without a Teleprompter!!”
Another Twitter user, trolling the PM, wrote: “Shame on haters for saying that Modi ji don’t take questions from Press. Today he took some tough questions from the press and replied: “Oh my God”
Journalist Sanjukta Basu wrote: “Lol. #ohmyGod not trending yet? This is the most epic moment in Modi’s life after ‘Dosti bani rahe’. Modi suddenly surrounded by reporters with mic in hand asking questions. Oh My God says a panicked Modi.”
TRS’s social media convenor Y Sathish Reddy, quoting the video, said: “Mr Modi Ji looks completely tattled and scared. Reacts #OhMyGod after facing unplanned media interaction. Now imagine if he had to face a live PC “
