PM doesn't take real questions, saves us from 'real embarrassment': Rahul Gandhi

Congress President Rahul Gandhi today took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for purportedly giving a pre-scripted interviews.

"The first Indian Prime Minister who takes 'spontaneous' questions that the translator has pre-scripted answers to," tweeted Gandhi.

Gandhi said it is good that PM doesn't take real questions as it would have been an 'embarrassment for all'.


During his Singapore visit, PM Modi was interviewed by Nanyang Technological University president Subra Suresh in front of a live audience. Some pre-decided members from the audience also posed questions to PM Modi.


"Good that he doesn't take real questions... Would have been a real embarrassment for us all if he did," said Gandhi in the tweet.

The tweet has a video of PM Modi's Singapore interview where the translator is heard purportedly reading out a scripted answer.
