Here’s to an even stronger U.S.-India relationship, which has deep bipartisan support here, and multiparty support over there. बधाई हो” Ambassador Nicholas Burns, Professor, Harvard Kennedy School, wrote, “A major victory for PM Modi and the BJP in #India. The Trump administration now has an opportunity to expand our military and economic partnership with Delhi, particularly to limit China’s ambitions in the Indo-Pacific.” Peter Lavoy, Senior Advisor, Exxon Mobil Corporation, tweeted, “Shabash [Well Done] India!
