Indian-American Republican United States Presidential candidate
Vivek Ramaswamy has been stunned by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and
called Bharat a reliable partner.
Recently he shared a video on Instagram where he spoke
frankly about his views regarding Bharat and PM Modi, and the role this Asian
giant plays in avoiding a war between China and Taiwan.
On being asked if he has any relationship with Modi,
Ramaswamy said, “I don’t know him yet. But, I have been impressed by him as a
leader. At the same time, I think India is gonna have to step it up a little
bit. They haven’t met the full level of military commitments that I like to see
a little waffly on the trade relationship and understandably, US has been less
reliable than necessary. So, I want to shore that up.”
Apart from this, he said Bharat plays a pivotal role
when it comes to evading war between China and Taiwan, as the trade to China
majorly flows through the Indian Ocean.
This is not the first time Ramaswamy has praised PM
Modi or Bharat, but a month ago too, he lauded PM Modi’s joint session at the
US Congress. Speaking at the PBD podcast on the ‘Valuentainment’ platform,
Ramaswamy said, “I heard Modi’s joint session at the US Congress, and I have
been impressed by him as a leader. He also pushed for strong India-US ties to
deter the rising threat of China.”
Calling PM Modi as an ‘outstanding leader’, he told
the American Bazaar in an interview, “I think he’s been an excellent prime
minister for India. I think he has unapologetically embraced free-market
capitalism. It’s the best system known to man to lift people up from poverty.
We know that from our experience here in United States.”
