Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday (August 3) said people of Indian origin are in demand to run governments in the US and the UK, which is a testimony to the country's growing global clout under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. He cited examples of conflicts in Afghanistan, Israel, Russia and Ukraine war, and their impact on the people. His remarks came while addressing an event.
Yadav claimed the Opposition party (Congress) was trying to create a false alarm by claiming that welfare schemes being run in Madhya Pradesh would be discontinued by the state government.
"Over Rs 11,000 crore have been transferred to the accounts of our sisters in the last eight months. All schemes will continue. Schemes will not shut but their party will be shut one day," he quipped while targeting Congress.
He said the world is looking at India with hopes and even in America, if someone wants to become President, he has to be Bharatvanshi (Indian origin).
"Britain, on the verge of collapse, wants an Indian prime minister. Our Sanatan culture is being hailed globally to strengthen democracy," he added.
His remarks came as Kamala Harris, having roots in India, is most likely to run for the President of the United States in November this year. She will be up against Republican Party nominee Donald Trump.
