In an interview with News18, the minister said that many global companies are all set to go ahead with their India plans. “So, it could be economic, it could be industry, it could be trade or the desire to partner with us, but Bharat stocks would go up on June 4 in the world’s market. Then it is up to us to use it to accelerate our rise,” said Jaishankar.
The minister said that is why it is important for young voters to “make their choice and press the button”. “I have every confidence in their judgment. I don’t even need to tell them which button to press. In my heart of hearts, I know what they will press,” he said.
Expressing confidence that the BJP would fulfil its “400 par target”, Jaishankar said the choices between the BJP-led government and the INDIA bloc are clear to people.

“Is this election about ‘Modi Ki guarantee’? Absolutely. In a way, you have Prime Minister Modi, two terms tenures with a solid track record. The credibility of the guarantee derives from the credibility of the track record,” he told News 18.
He said “there’s not a single guarantee” offered by the INDIA bloc. “There’s a gaggle of people out there, each one of them, in fact, very often they pull in very different directions. About the only guarantee that they can suggest is, look, if you try, if you get, you know, somewhere, support us. We are not, we are different. I mean, there’s nothing beyond that which unites them,” he said.
On the Centre’s plan for young voters, he said, ““Clock starts ticking June 4th, you are off the block. Who’s ready to lead? Who has a pathway, who has a plan, you know, who has the experience, the credibility of delivery? And then there’s the future.
Because we are talking of people today who would be below 30, yeah, in their lifetime, in their working lifetime. They will realise what it means to be ‘Viksit Bharat.’ You know, they will see this country go to become a 30-35-40 trillion economy.”
