Hindu Sena rejoices as Trump elected President

A right-wing outfit on Wednesday celebrated the victory of Republican candidate Donald Trump in the US polls, saying his presidency would “further boost” the Indo-American ties.

Chief of Hindu Sena group Vishnu Gupta said that they are very happy with the election results and that they had been cheering him (Trump) during the campaign period too. “Today, we gathered in the streets and played drums and distributed sweets,” he said.

Mr Gupta claimed that his group was confident of the Republican’s win in the US polls. “The victory also means that now, India has one of the biggest friends in the White House. And, now, India and the US would together work to banish terrorism,” he said.

The right-wing outfit had in May conducted a special prayer meeting (‘havan’) for the victory of Trump and in June celebrated Trump’s birthday with cake, posters and balloons.

In a stunning result, the billionaire businessman on Monday beat seasoned politician Hillary Clinton in the knife-edge polls, defying the odds to become the 45th US President after starting off as a rank political outsider.
