"BJP's 370 Target Not A Random Number": S Jaishankar On NDTV Battleground
NDTV
The external affairs minister also spoke about India's foreign policy challenges in the neighbourhood and said some of them may be exaggerated.
With the Lok Sabha elections winding down to a close, NDTV's Battleground saw a trio of heavyweights speaking on a range of issues, including predictions for the next government, employment and India's rising stature on the world stage.
Foreign policy was a big part of the discussion because one of the three panellists in the show, hosted by NDTV's Editor-in-Chief Sanjay Pugalia, was External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar. The BJP and the opposition's prospects in the election were addressed by both Mr Jaishankar and economist, author and former member of the Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council, Surjit Bhalla.
The third member of the panel, Manish Sabharwal - vice-chairman of TeamLease, one of India's biggest employers - helped dissect the economy and bust unemployment myths.
