Dr. S. Jaishankar took a jibe at opposition during the NSE office Media Meet, Mumbai on 13th May.
He reclaimed that the public has two options with regards to the ongoing elections, either lend a hand to Modi or remove the current Government.
He also commented about the Chabahar Agreement with regards to its importance stating, “ My understanding of the port remains that my cabinet colleague Sarbananda Sonawal Ji, is today going to Iraq. It is expected that we will see a long-term agreement between India and Iraq on Chabahar. We have been running it on the basis of ad hoc arrangement. This is not because of any problem on the Indian side, the issue was with regards to the combination of who the partners will be.
We believe that as and when a long term arrangement is concluded, it will clear the pathway for bigger investments to be made in the port. Right now the port has not grown because actually without a long term agreement it is very difficult to invest in a port. Clear expectation is that the part of the Chabahar port that we are involved in, will witness more investments, more connectivity linkages coming out of that.”
Future development plan for India
He elucidates on the future plans of our Government for India. Senior citizens are to be provided with free health access. The Mudra Loan scheme launched for the benefit of small owners will allow up to twice the loan amount hereafter.
