“Local Problems Will Be There, But…”: S Jaishankar Confident Of Big Win

New Delhi: 

The 2024 Lok Sabha election is a national issue and people will vote from that perspective, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar told NDTV Thursday, brushing aside talk that regional issues – like the ethnic violence in Manipur or the southern states’ tax devolution row – could impact the BJP’s chances of claiming a third consecutive win.

“Local problems will be there but, in the end, when people vote, they will question if they believe in Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I do not know the exact numbers but can confidently say it will be more than you think. The BJP has a 10-year record and the public has a positive image of the future.”
