US Presidential Election 2024: Unhappy with the Democratic Party’s use of human rights as a political tool for countries like India and inspired by Donald Trump’s position on Hindu rights in Bangladesh, nearly 70 percent of Hindu-Americans voted for the Republican candidate in the November 5 election. Voting was claimed. This claim has been made by famous Indian-American doctor Bharat Badai. Speaking to news agency PTI, Dr Bharat Badai said, “Democrats have not done much to attract Indian-Americans. Apart from this, they have taken some steps which are very insulting, angry and embarrassing for Indian-Americans. Have become the cause.”
Badai also pointed out that there was no strong condemnation from President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Vice President Kamala Harris against the attacks on Hindus in Bangladesh, which included the killing of more than 100 Hindus, desecration of temples and wearing of hijab. Was forced to wear.
Importance of Hindu-American voting block
Badai said that the Hindu-American community is small in number, but they are an important vote bank, especially in elections which are closely contested. He said, “I think 70 percent of Hindu-Americans voted for Trump this time.”
Donald Trump’s appointment of two Hindu-Americans – Vivek Ramaswamy and Tulsi Gabbard to important positions – has increased their support among the community. Badai believes that India-US relations will strengthen in the next government. The reason for this is the personal relationship between Trump and PM Modi. These relations were especially strengthened when Trump visited India and visited Ahmedabad. Narendra Modi He got a warm welcome in the stadium.
Trump will take forward India-US relations
Badai said, “Trump never took any step against India nor tried to humiliate India. He was the person who accelerated the process of Quad and now it will become even stronger because America, “All the countries including Japan, Australia and India realize that China is becoming very aggressive in the Indo-Pacific region.” Badai also said that Hindu-Americans played an important role in Trump’s success in the recent elections, especially in swing states like Georgia, Pennsylvania and Michigan. “His margin in Georgia increased by more than 1,80,000. I would say 1,00,000 of those votes were because of Hindu-Americans,” he said.
