Jaishankar says he is a 'townhall' person, not mass communicator like Modi, Amit Shah

Talking about his participation in the election campaign as he addressed many seminars and delivered many talks on the Modi government's foreign policies amid the ongoing election, external affairs minister S Jaishankar said he is more comfortable in doing townhall kind of things. The line between foreign and domestic policy has got blurred, Jaishankar said explaining that India buying Russian oil is a matter of foreign policy but the consumer is the people of the country who will pay at the petrol pump and thus it becomes a domestic policy. Jaishankar reveals real story behind 'Modi ji ne war rukva di papa' "I find it very interesting because when I have gone to about nine or 10 states during the elections, I almost invariably get a set of questions on foreign policy. If you look at the BJP manifesto, I think we have given much more space to foreign policy than we have ever given before," Jaishankar said.
