Prime Minister Narendra Modi today received a rousing welcome from some 20,000 cheering NRIs when he addressed them from a 360-degree rotating platform at the iconic Madison Square Garden here.
Sporting a saffron Nehru jacket and yellow kurta, Modi held the packed indoor stadium spellbound. He spoke from a 360-degree slowly rotating platform in the storied arena, and those in attendance included Senators and Congressmen.
The massive crowd, comprising men, women and children, applauded on various occasions and shouted Jai hind, visibly upbeat and energised to hear the Prime Minister on US soil.
His address was preceded by a cultural extravaganza with performances by among others singer Kavita Krishnamurthy and her violin maestro husband L Subramaniam.
An artist painted a huge portrait of Modi on the stage while the duo’s performances were on.
