‘Ab Ki Baar, Trump Sarkar’! Trump’s New Ad to Woo Indian-Americans
Mangaluru: In a bid to woo Indian-Americans, Donald Trump has borrowed from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s winning slogan of the 2014 general elections as the Republican presidential nominee is seen in a TV ad saying “Ab Ki Baar Trump Sarkar”. This is the first time that a US presidential candidate has specifically targeted the Indian-American vote bank.
The new advertisement shows 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 is 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”. “It’s running on 20 channels,” according to Shalabh Kumar, chairman of the Indian American Advisory Council of Donald Trump for President. The commercial, which ranges from 20 seconds to 50 seconds in different variants, is being run 20 times a day on these Indian-American channels.
It concludes with “I am Donald Trump and I approve this message” and carries excerpts of his remarks from his recent address to the Republican Hindu Coalition charity events in New Jersey. In between his remarks, images of Prime Minister Modi pop in. In this election cycle, Trump has made an unprecedented effort to reach out to the Indian-American community. He is the first presidential nominee to address an Indian-American event. This week, his daughter-in-law Lara Trump celebrated Diwali at a Hindu Temple in Ashburn Virginia, a key swing State.
It is noted that Kumar, who has been instrumental in both the commercial ad and New Jersey, did not say how much money the campaign is spending in running these advertisements on Indian channels in the US. “Democrats talk good about India. Republicans do good about India,” Sekhar Tiwari, a long-time Republican supporter had said.
Prior to 2014 elections Hindu fascist organizations in America under the garb of “nationalism” have long realized that support for Israel is key to the Washington door. Thus they have developed good relations with America’s powerful Jewish Lobby. India’s new prime minister Narendra Modi (BJP) was Sangh Parivar’s candidate in the Indian parliament elections. The report claims that most of these Indian hate groups receive social and financial aid from various Hindu charities working in United States, as tax exempt non-profit organizations, just like all Jewish lobby groups like AIPAC, ADL, AJC, WINEP, AZC, etc. According to the report, Hindutva-affiliated… Read more »
HAF is a sister organization of RSS overseas ? That’s news to me. Nevertheless, you got that right HAF members are funding and supporting Donald Trump – “Ab Ki Baar Trump Ki Sarkar”. The real support for Trump began when Khanzir Khan who had lost his son in Iraq war in 2004, and the Pakistani & allied media openly began supporting crooked Hilary. It was Hilary who voted for the war, that led to his son’s death and instead of accepting responsibility she along with the crooked media blamed Trump for his death. It was a moment to remember when… Read more »
There are certain people claim to be knowledge of all.But when the fact produced with evidence they bring another topic as a diversion. I had answered ‘Sati’ claim and forced to produced quotes from Bible. I would request him to produce the copy of the email with date and time. For American Muslims this times Presidential candidates is choice between bad and worst. I pity that the developing nation has failed to produce one able candidate who can lead the nation. During the presidential campaign of 1928, a circular published by the Republican Party claimed that if Herbert Hoover won… Read more »
