Can JAISHANKAR be The Next PM OF INDIA

Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. I am Mr. Ayan Das, and as a coordinator I welcome you all to this debate cum chat show.

I also welcome the large gathering of hundred as audience of this debate. Two groups, one comprising Amol Rozik, Daniella D’Souza and Varun Sen will speak for the motion and the other - Anita Kerkar, Nandini Ahuja and Lokesh Mendiratta will speak against the motion.

The motion is: Can S. Jaishankar be the next Prime Minister of India

We will discuss in the next hour or so and after the debate the audience will be requested to vote through their voting machines as ‘yes’ or ‘no’ whether S. Jaishankar can become the next PM. Winner of the debate will be announced accordingly.

For the Motion – 10 minutes. Speaker – Amol Rozik

Well, I am here to speak on behalf of my group and if you ask me if Mr. S. Jaishankar can become the next PM of India, the answer is a resounding YES.

After initial setback involving issues of demonetization and GST – which I believe is still a matter of in depth analysis or I find a lack of it – people still conjecture a lot, PM Modi has guided our nation to a new height, a pedestal many view in awe as to how it could have happened so swiftly or for that matter what makes the man tick amidst so much cacophony from opposition and red eyed jealousy from neighboring countries.

In all of this humdrum S. Jaishankar was with PM Modi through thick and thin and was instrumental in carrying forward many issues of vital interest. He has PM Modi’s pat on his back and has confidently designed many a policy that has helped India stride along.

Subramanyam Jaishankar was born January 09,1955 to a humble family. He did his MA from St. Stephens College and PhD from JNU, Delhi before joining IFS (Indian Foreign Service). He is married to Kyoko Subramanyam and has three children.

He got surprise of his life when PM Modi – at a swearing in ceremony of Council of Ministers in 2019 - asked Jaishankar to take oath as a cabinet minister in the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) ahead of party veterans Piyush Goyal and Prakash Javadekar.

And ladies and gentlemen, PM Modi has a vision, sees the future clearly and doesn’t shirk from disruptive decision making!

With Jaishankar’s exposure to China, US, Czech Republic et al and his current understanding of critical issues involving India – his vitriolic yet measured counters in different diplomatic and political platforms to Pakistan notwithstanding - I am confident that given the premiership he will come equal to the task.

Against the Motion – 10 minutes. Speaker – Anita Kerkar

I am Anita and I am here to speak against the motion on behalf of my group.

Well, taking a leaf out of Amol’s presentation I have this to say:

Yes S. Jaishankar? But why no other?

If you ask anybody along the shores of Mumbai or Maharashtra one name comes immediately to the fore – Nitin Gadkari!

In the past 5-10 years who has done more work than this man for the betterment of our country – creating jobs aplenty with the large budget and prestigious Projects?? Please have a look:

• 55 flyovers in Mumbai

• Road construction going up from 2km/day to 37km/day in his tenure

• Eastern and Western peripheral highways around Delhi completed in a record three years

• National Highways totaling 65,000 km are being built under Bharat Mala Scheme

• In North-East the Bogibeel Railroad Bridge is for everyone to see

• Port modernizations are in place, inland waterway transports are a reality now

For Nitin Gadkari the sad part is he cannot see any light at the end of the tunnel which he is traversing. He has which many do not possess – the critical connect factor with the mass. He is a straightforward human being and a hard task master with a professional streak in his work ethics.

He might not have the bureaucratic acumen of a Jaishankar, but he is a worker on the field rather than a minister on the chair.

People love him and respect him.

I strongly feel that Nitin Gadkari would be a strong contender for PM of India after PM Narendra Modi.

Mr. Ayan Das - Thank you Teams for a very insightful presentation. I must thank the audience for a patient hearing from the boys and girls and interacting positively to bring the show to a very successful end. I will now declare the result the audience has handed out to us through voting. -

WINNER: FOR THE MOTION, 57-43

Congratulations Amol Rozik and Team. It was a very closely fought contest and I personally feel though Mr. Gadkari is an excellent candidate for the post of PM, it is Mr. Jaishankar who scores in favour due to his international exposure and quick wit.
