Indian-American South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley has said the United States can't afford to have Barack Obama as the President for another four years.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday met Indian-American South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, one of the brightest stars of the Republican Party, and discussed areas of possible cooperation including investment opportunities in India.
Haley's endorsement is seen as a big boost for Rubio, but this does not guarantee him a win in South Carolina, despite the fact that the Indian-American is one of the most popular governor's in the state's history.
Describing America as India's "vital partner", Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday embarked on his first visit to the US confident that his five-day trip will mark a "new chapter" in bilateral strategic ties.
