According to a Bengali news website quoted Mamata Banerjee saying, "Modi gives a lot of speeches but he cannot speak a line in English properly. That's why he needs to constantly look at the teleprompter while speaking English," Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal."

"The entire media knows of this. So do other people," Mamata Banerjee said. "

He looks at the screen, reads what he has to say in English and then speaks as if he's fluent in the language."
