Union Minister Pralhad Joshi suggests Nirmala Sitharaman and S Jaishankar might contest Lok Sabha elections, then retracts statement. The eloquent ministers, currently in Rajya Sabha, may face popular elections. Joshi mentions potential debut but doesn't confirm constituencies. Later, he clarifies, 'I have not said it like that,' emphasizing leadership's role in deciding. Sitharaman, ex-Defence Minister, and Jaishankar, a career diplomat, have been prominent BJP members. Their possible electoral foray stirs speculation. While Sitharaman represents Karnataka in Rajya Sabha, Jaishankar represents Gujarat. The BJP leaders' entry into Lok Sabha remains uncertain.
