"I commend the co-chairs of the House Caucus on India and Indian Americans and their counterparts in the Senate, and also my good friends Congressman Brad Sherman, Congressman Ami Bera."

"But it is shameful that our Government, yes, the United States, failed to develop a strong friendship and comprehensive partnership with Shri Modi when it mattered most."

"I knew then what I know now: Shri Modi is dedicated, he is determined, he is dynamic, he is different."

"You can be assured Prime Minister Modi will usher in India's new era, and the United States would be wise to support his goals."
