[@venkatesh4715]

Very well said. BJP is actually downplaying the good work done by its Cabinet ministers. Its actually a loss for them , they are not using the Good work done by cabinet ministers to project in elections. I am a big fan of Modi, but I would like him to give credit to his team for their contributions as well

[@pavanshetty9806]

​​@@Avant-garde1611 it is because identity politics attracts / motivates people more than development politics. Developement is just a boring stat for most where as things of emotions move people. Hence evwn a developmemt oriented government has to use identity politics.

[@di17ms]

​@@Avant-garde1611They are campaigning accordingly .., Modiji Took Opposition manifesto to be understand by public also so he directly relates those topics also ..along with that Modiji speaks about Hia welfare schemes and his vision Of 3rd economy Surya grah yojna ,Ayushman yojna types Whereas Gadkari ji speaks about development , and Shah , Yogiiji and other leaders have different topics ....so All have different topics but It is also Necessary what PM aware the people We had seen Bengal HC decision And Mamta told she will not accept ..., So that was already done by Congress and Mamta ,Stalin govt in there states ..

@ 1:30, why call him a paradox? Did you mean paragon?

[@swamiganesh2875]

Guess, what is paradoxical is that while Indian foreign ministers, as a rule, have been elected politicians of the ruling party and clueless on foreign affairs, Jaishankar, a career bureaucrat, as FM has not only excelled on the job, but his polite, cerebral, articulation of Indian policies in domestic and international forums have earned him international recognition as one of the best FM globally. To top that he has displayed unexpected political savvy in communicating and, more importantly, educating the media and the common folks on the intricacies and dilemmas of Geopolitics and its impact on India’s national security and why Modi and BJP are the right party to handle these challenges in the current global turmoil. In fact, many voters view him as a prime reason to vote for BJP. Therein lies the paradox that contrary to conventional wisdom, an apolitical career bureaucrat has not only excelled as FM, but also as an effective election campaigner!

[@sumeshs8239]

He is not a diplomat at all. He talks like a bjp panchayat member. Behaves just like a side kick of modi.

[@somnathsinha872]

The Delhi durbar called India is too busy wearing sherwanis to indicate deshbhakti and using the correct fish fork with Chardonnay on the side. The robustness of our Foreign Policy is because Bharat is growing a spine/reed-ki-haddi and is not doing the yes-man role, to which the West has been accustomed. Deference is dead. Deterrence is on.

[@Shivani.M]

I'm usually a big fan of Dr Jaishankar for his Frank, succinct and yet diplomatic answers. However on the accusations leveled by the opposition on the border issue(s) with China, it was disappointing to hear his purely political stance. It would've been nicer to know what exactly the govt was doing about it now, since anyway everything this govt inherited was what had been done by the previous governments including that of Nehru's. They've handled a lot of mistakes by their predecessors pretty well. Would've been more hard hitting hearing something similar on this one too (especially since he's also a subject matter expert) than merely pointing fingers at them for their mistakes, which anyway can now be not corrected. If impact was what he was seeking, it's certainly not there. This sounds more like washing your hands away on such a serious matter instead of finding solutions to what's happened, which is what realism dictates.

[@effendi77]

I was thinking of posting something in response to this video and use the word weasel for him, however as soon as he said, "nobody builds technology on services, you need manufacturing to build technology" (44:50 to 45:07). Having said that, the government has NOT done anything significant to push the country in that direction so far, in the past 10 years. That not only can move the country towards self-reliant eventually, but first it will address our employment crisis as well. If, if, in case Modi wins the third term, then the government will need to produce some results within a year. However so far, Modi has been high on hyperbole and low on strategic achievements.

No country had become less stressful when they try to get in to super power. Today water is passed through machines to drink, vegetables and meat through process so canned or even fresh produce stays longer in weather and even loaf of bread doesn't have nutritional... dont kniw white corn_wheat used has nutrtiin left before making bread or its just powder of chenical byproduct.
