A video clip of Prime Minister Narendra Modi facing reporters outside the Parliament, is going viral on social media. The clip features a lot of important questions but the only thing missing, is the PM actually answering them.
Before the beginning of the monsoon session of the parliament in 2015, the PM had appeared in front of the press. But instead of answering the questions, he had stood there, silently.
A parody account on Twitter, posted ABP News’ Clip after right-wing supporters were trolling Rahul Gandhi for consulting with his party leaders during a press conference.

This is how the exchange went:
Reporter 1: Sir, what about the Opposition’s demands regarding corruption?
PM Modi: (looks to the right)
Reporter 2: Sir, do you expect this session (of parliament) to work?
PM Modi: (looks to the left)
Reporter 3: Sir, the Congress (party) has given a notice for adjournment motion, is the government ready for a debate?
PM Modi: (stares into the abyss in the right)
Reporter 4: You know all the questions, sir.
PM Modi: (relentless with the staring silently)
Reporter 5: Sir, what about the land bill?
PM Modi: (bye now)
Another telling aspect of this exchange was the giggling of the prime minister’s entourage which included cabinet minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi.
The Prime Minister has not done a single press conference in 4.5 years.
