Sushma Swaraj is a state forward, well known, senior and popular leader. On becoming the External Affairs Minister, she created hope of developing good neighborly ties with our neighborhood nations, particularly with Pakistan, which is still to take a positive shape. Recent developments in Nepal and our deteriorated relationship with them is a matter of concern.
As I feel, the Lalit Modi controversy came up a few months back has adversely affected Mrs. Swaraj's credibility at the ministry as well as at national level.
