NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday took a jibe at the opposition referring to them as ‘noob‘ during an interaction with some of the country’s top gamers.
“If I use this word (noob) during elections, people will wonder who am I referring to… If I say it, you will think of a particular person,” PM Modi said.
During his discussion, the Prime Minister addressed the gamers about the challenges they face in India and asked about the possible ways in how the government could help them grow.
PM Modi also raised questions about the distinction between skill-based games and those offering quick income. He also raised concerns about video game addiction.
Naman Mathur (Mortal), Animesh Agarwal (Thug), Anshu Bishu (Gamerfleet), Ganesh Gangadhar (SKrossi), Tirth Mehta (Gcttirth), Payal Dhare (Payal Gaming) and Mithilesh Patankar (MythPat) are the seven gamers who met with the Prime Minister on Saturday
During the chat, the gamers gave PM Modi a new name ‘NaMo OP’, where OP stands for overpowered.
“We all have gamer tags. Since you are a Gen Z like us, we would now call you ‘NaMo OP’ (overpowered), as you are the most powerful person in the country, in our livestream chats,” the gamers said.
PM Modi also was exposed to gaming phrases like GTG (Got to Go) and AFK (away from keyboard), among others, which are used during live-streaming by the creators.
Later, PM Modi also played some indigenous games with the creators.
