Both BJP leaders spent their time by taking questions from Bengaluru’s youth on topics ranging from India’s foreign policy, G20 summit and upcoming Karnataka assembly elections.

Tejasvi Surya took to social media and wrote, “Bengaluru’s youth, started Sunday with a class on PM @narendramodi’s foreign policy at Cubbon Park. EAM Sri @DrSJaishankar was flooded with wide ranging questions on India’s foreign policy. Modi’s foreign policy is not distant & dry. It’s a hot topic even at public parks.”

Last week, Tejasvi Surya asked Jaishankar about not having an US Consulate in Bengaluru though the city has many US based tech gains operating. In a response to his question, the union minister replied, “If I am a resident of Bengaluru, the question makes a lot of sense. It also makes sense if I am an official of the United States government. But the US Consulate in Bengaluru is a compelling ask and not having one in the city is a no-brainer. Next time when I meet Antony Blinken, I will hammer home the message.”
