Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become the face of India, a senior American Congressman has said as he applauded the Indian leader for the developmental work and the economic progress the country has seen since 2014.
Brad Sherman, considered to be one of the best friends of India in the U.S. Congress, said that India and the U.S. have seen a strengthening of the bilateral relationship during the tenure of Prime Minister Modi.
However, he said that India's defence relationship with Russia is a challenge in the Indo-U.S. relationship. "He [Modi] has become the face of India and we've seen very significant economic progress. Of course, every country has its challenges, every leader has its challenges. I don't ascribe the success of a country just to one leader. I mean, you've got 1.3 (sic) plus billion people and they're all working together to try to make India a more successful country,” Mr. Sherman told PTI in an interview on April 9.
