PM Modi congratulates Donald Trump, looks forward to working with him closely

New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi ‏on Wednesday congratulated Donald Trump on being elected as the 45th US President. "We appreciate the friendship you have articulated towards India during your campaign, Modi tweeted. In another tweet, Modi said "We look forward to working with you closely to take India-US bilateral ties to a new height." To woo Indian- Americans, Donald Trump had borrowed from PM Modi's winning slogan of the 2014 general elections as the Republican presidential nominee was seen in a TV ad saying "Ab Ki Baar Trump Sarkaar". This is the first time that a US presidential candidate has specifically targeted the Indian-American vote bank. The advertisement showed the 70-year-old reality TV star adapting BJP's catchy election slogan of the 2014 polls "Ab Ki baar, Modi Sarkaar". Indian-Americans are traditionally supporters of the Democratic Party and Trump's move was seen as an effort to make a dent in this vote bank. The billionaire is seen in the 30-second video saying, "Ab Ki Baar Trump Sarkaar". (With PTI inputs)
