A significant portion of the Indian American population expresses support for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to serve a third term, citing the transformative impact of his government's policies on India, asserts prominent community leader Ajay Jain Bhaturia.
Indian Americans, integral to the robust economic expansion of the United States, have diligently contributed to its growth. Bhaturia emphasizes their sense of pride in witnessing analogous economic progress unfolding in India. "The majority of Indian Americans desire Prime Minister Modi's return. It's a source of immense pride for them to see India's advancement," Bhaturia conveyed during an interview with PTI.
He elaborated on India's accelerating economic growth, poised to surpass Japan to become the world's fourth-largest economy by the year's end and potentially trailing only the US and China by 2027. Bhaturia underscores the populace's endorsement of Modi for a consecutive term, attributing it to the government's pivotal role in catalyzing transformation across sectors such as commerce, small and large businesses, railways, and infrastructure development.
Continuing the trajectory of progress is deemed imperative by Bhaturia, who advocates for Modi's reelection to sustain India's success story. He accentuates India's strides in embracing digital transactions, surpassing the US and many European nations combined, alongside enhanced access to healthcare and life insurance.
Bhaturia commends Modi's adeptness in engaging with the diaspora, fostering emotional ties with India. Events like the state dinner hosted by President Biden in 2023, attended by over 4,500 Indian Americans, underscore the community's strong affinity towards their homeland and the recognition accorded to India on the global stage.
The emotional connection to India remains palpable among Indian Americans, particularly among first-generation immigrants, fueled by tangible progress observed in rural development and enhanced national security under the Modi administration. Bhaturia credits the government's efforts in curbing terrorist threats, fostering a safer environment conducive to economic and social advancement.
