Renowned African-American singer and actress Mary Millben praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swept three heartland states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in a dominant electoral show on Sunday.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Mary Millben said, “Today’s election results in #India, the @BJP4India winning the heartland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, is a precursor to a strong victory for PM @narendramodi in 2024.”
“He is the #IndiaFirst candidate and the best leader for the US-India relationship,” Millben said in her X post.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Sunday swept three heartland states of Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan in a dominant electoral show. The Congress, on the other hand, drew consolation from a big win in Telangana.
Earlier on September 7, the African-American singer lauded PM Modi for his proposal to include the African Union as a full member of the G20, a move supported by the US.
“I applaud Prime Minister Modi’s proposal to include the African Union as a full member of the G20. The global south can now shape policies impacting our world,” Millben said in a video message.
Millben, 41, is popular in India for her rendition of the National Anthem and devotional bhajan ‘Om Jai Jagdish Hare’.
She sang India’s national anthem ‘Jana Gana Mana’ at an event in June in the US during the prime minister’s visit.
