The supporters of Prime Minister Narendra Modi are planning to celebrate his third swearing-in in 22 cities across the United States, a senior leader from Overseas Friends of BJP-USA has said. The celebrations in cities, including New York, Jersey City, Washington DC, Boston, Tampa, Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, would be spread over the current and the coming weekends.
“Victory celebrations will be held from this Friday to next Sunday in 22 cities in the US,” OFBJP-USA President Adapa Prasad said. Throughout the election campaign, OFBJP-USA engaged in various activities such as car rallies and community-calling efforts to raise awareness in American cities.
“This is a proud moment for all of us,” remarked Chandrakant Patel, former OFBJP-USA president, from Tampa, Florida, where the first celebration is set to begin.
“We’ll also urge the Prime Minister to establish an NRI Commission to address issues faced by overseas Indians,” said Prasad, citing common problems such as property disputes and bank signature mismatches.
