Ready to work with Modi: US officials

Washington, November 8
The US will be willing to work with BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi if the party is voted to power in the general election, senior Obama administration officials said, asserting that the enduring bilateral relationship is to continue irrespective of the poll results.

“We will work with the leader of the world’s largest democracy. There is no question about that,” a senior US official yesterday said when asked about the prospects of working with an Indian Government led by Modi.

“I think the relationship between the US and India is an enduring one, it is a bipartisan in the US, irrespective of who is in office.”

Dismissing visa as a non-issue, the official said it was largely a creation of the Indian media. Another US official said “there is not a lot of angst about him (Modi)” in the US Government, but it is believed that the administration has decided to maintain the status quo on this issue for the very reason that it might be seen as an interference in the internal domestic polity of India. — PTI
