Ending months of speculation, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is likely to announce his 2016 presidential bid in New Orleans that will make him the first Indian-American to run for the White House even as he terms such categorisation divisive.
When he announces his presidential bid, 44-year-old Jindal would join 12 Republican contenders that include political heavyweights like Jeb Bush and Rick Perry.
His expected historic announcement, however, has failed to generate much enthusiasm among the Indian-Americans because of Jindal’s recent statements distancing himself from the community. Oxford-educated Jindal said the presidential contest remains “completely open”.
