THE victory of Joe Biden in the presidential election in the United States must have been a galling for Prime Minister Narendra Modi. After all, he was the first Indian prime minister ever to virtually endorse a candidate for the election, the incumbent Donald Trump.
Everyone recalls the reiteration of the slogan “Ab ki Baar Trump Sarkar” by Modi at the “Howdy Modi” rally at Houston in September 2019. The Namaste Trump rally at Ahmedabad in February 2020 was another political gesture in favour of Trump organised by Modi.
