Ramdas Athawale Hails Trump’s Victory
Union Minister Ramdas Athawale expressed joy over Donald Trump’s recent US presidential win. As the chief of the Republican Party of India (RPI), Athawale highlighted a shared connection between Trump’s Republican Party and his own.
“Trump belongs to the Republican Party, and my party is also called the Republican Party. I’m thrilled with his victory,” Athawale remarked. He credited Indian-American voters for playing a crucial role in Trump’s success.
A Shift in Perspective
Back in January 2021, Ramdas Athawale was critical of Trump following the infamous Capitol riots. He had then stated that Trump lost the right to be called a Republican after the violent insurrection aimed at overturning the 2020 election results.
The attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, was seen as a direct assault on democracy, with the FBI labeling it as domestic terrorism. Athawale had condemned Trump’s actions, saying they undermined democratic values.
Trump’s Comeback
Now, in a dramatic political turnaround, Donald Trump has secured a second term, defeating Kamala Harris in a tightly contested election. With a critical win in Wisconsin, Trump clinched the necessary 270 electoral votes, marking one of the most significant political comebacks in US history.
Implications for India-US Relations
Athawale’s renewed support for Trump signals optimism for stronger India-US ties under his leadership. With Trump’s known support for India and the backing of Indian-American voters, Athawale sees a promising future for bilateral relations.
