Prime Minister Narendra Modi whose popularity graph has reached 87% was jubilantly and enthusiastically welcomed by Indian-Americans who thronged under the banner of “ Indian American Community”, on September 23 in front of Waldorf Astoria Hotel where he will be staying in New York City.
They carried the play cards depicting “AMERICA WELCOMES MODI”, “NEW YORKERS LOVE MODI” and uncontrollably shouted “MODI, MODI, WELCOME MODY” to express their love, respect and exhilaration for Modi who is determined to make India an economically prosperous and militarily strong nation.
