The Indian-American community has extended its warm congratulations to Narendra Modi for leading the BJP to a spectacular victory in these historic elections in India.
"We are even more heartened to note that the BJP will have single party majority in Parliament,'' it said.
"With over 800 million voters, a number that is more than the entire population of Europe, and a turnout of 66 per cent which is by far a huge turnout in any democracy, today is indeed a watershed in the history of India and the world,” Sanjay Puri, Chairman of the US India Political Action Committee (USINPAC), had said.
Puri also said: “The people of India today stand poised to unleash their immense potential for the good of the country and global progress towards peace, no poverty, and good health for all. The Indian Diasporas and friends of India in the United States and across the world cheer and send our best of wishes to the people of India, and the leadership of Mr. Narendra Modi.”
