The
process for electing the next President of America is on.
Arizona senator John McCain's candidature for president post
has become firm who belongs to Republican Party. McCain's
four big victories in Vermont, Ohio, Texas and Rhode Island
drove his last major rival, former Arkansas Governor Mike
Huckabee, out of the race. President, George W Bush has approved
the candidature of John McCain. At the same time, in the Democratic
Party, Hillary Clinton seems to be moving ahead of Barack
Obama within the party. In the elections of four states on
Wednesday, Hillary has come in flying colours in prominent
states, Ohio, Texas and Rohde Island. Whereas, Obama has secured
win in only Vermont state. It was speculated that Obama would
bag the election results of these states and it would be the
last contest in which Obama would show the doors to Hillary.
But, even after this, Hillary's remarkable return has made
the contest tough. The whole world's eyes on the election
process in America. The Indian community is also equally eager.
There are a number of Indian software companies in America.
Besides, a large number of Indian community members are working
in other companies in the US. If Hillary and Obama are seen
comparatively, then Hillary is a renowned name and she is
better friend of India too. It is difficult to claim about
Obama anything but it is true that whoever becomes President
in America he or she would have to consider India seriously.
Republican Party is ruling there at present. And in the tenure
of President, Bush, relations between America and India have
become closer. With this view if John McCain wins then also
there would not be much difference in Indo-American relations.
However the position would become clear in the next few days,
whether Hillary or Obama would be candidate from the Democratic
party.
