'What difference will it make to Indians if any party comes to power in the US'

Bengaluru: As India gears up to welcome Donald Trump on his maiden visit to the country, former Minister DK Shivakumar questioned what difference will it make to Indians if any party comes to power in the US.

Addressing presspersons here Shivakumar questioned, “Why did Prime Minister Narendra Modi ask the citizens of America to vote for Donald Trump during his US visit. What difference will it make to Indians if any party comes to power in the US.”

Trump is scheduled to visit Modi’s home state Gujarat on February 24. He will visit the famous Sabarmati Ashram in Ahmedabad and take part in a roadshow with Modi. After that, the two leaders will inaugurate a new cricket stadium in Motera and address a gathering there, with an expected audience of over one lakh people.

While it was earlier speculated that the programme would be called ‘Kem Chho Trump’, the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation on Sunday tweeted a series of posters confirming that the event is now christened ‘Namaste Trump’, apparently to give it a pan-India appeal.

He further added, “Modi instead of blaming Congress for opposing his idea should work towards the development of the country.
