US Secretary of State Marco Rubio was on his second visit to India within six months. But this time he did not go to Delhi.

His tour started from Mumbai, after which he also went to Jamnagar in Gujarat. There is a lot of discussion about this visit of Rubio.

Questions are being raised as to why Rubio reached Jamnagar instead of going to Delhi? Was his presence at the Reliance refinery just a business visit? Is it linked to the US midterm elections? Or is there a new story hidden behind this in India-US relations?

This time in 'The Lens', Mukesh Sharma, Director of Journalism of Collective Newsroom, discussed similar questions with energy issues expert Narendra Taneja and diplomatic journalist Trupti Nath.
