Question

Declamation speech with slogans on Covid-19 pandemic a threat to deal with.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Yet, that’s what Prime Minister Narendra Modi did with his 21-day coronavirus lockdown speech Tuesday.

At the time of crisis, there are two kinds of speeches — one, which raises the morale of the population, much like Winston Churchill’s wartime speeches, and the other, which gives directions to troops so they know exactly what to do. The former is esoteric, the latter is precise and detailed. The problem with the novel coronavirus or Covid-19 crisis is that it requires the populace to be soldiers, every single one of us. So, we need both morale boosters and specifics. And this is where Modi’s speech Tuesday failed monumentally.

So, we need both morale boosters and specifics. And this is where Modi’s speech Tuesday failed monumentally.

His earlier speech for a day of solidarity or ‘Janata curfew’ was about morale — but his speech announcing a 21-day pan-India lockdown was, in effect, a military campaign. But this added to how he handled the Delhi riots, reveals a consistent pattern that can mean one of three things: mismanagement, laziness or hubris.
