NEW DELHI: Days after his visit to India, US President Donald Trump said that he may never be excited about a crowd”, referring to the number of people who turned up to welcome him at Ahmedabad’s Motera stadium.
President Trump, while addressing a rally in South Carolina on Saturday, talked about the Motera Stadium in Ahmedabad, where tens of thousands of people turned up to hear him speak along with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
As he talked about the “Namaste Trump” event, the US president said he shared the stage with Prime Minister Modi who is a “great guy” and is “loved by the people of India.”
“We had an amazing thing. And I went in, and here’s the problem. This is a big crowd and normally, I like talking about my crowd because I get the crowds like nobody. But, I just got back from 140 or 50 or 60,000 people and now I am coming here. What does this place hold, 15? It’s hard to be enthused. You understand that?,” Trump said.
“I may never be excited again about a crowd after going to India. Think of this, they have 1.5 billion people. We have 350, so we are doing pretty well, I will tell you what, but I love this crowd and I love that crowd too,” the US president told his supporters amid a rousing applause.
Trump had reached India on February 25, accompanied by wife Melania Trump and a high-level delegation, for a nearly 36-hour visit. His first stop was Ahmedabad after which he went to see the Taj Mahal in Agra.
President Trump and Melania visited New Delhi in the last leg of their visit. The US president sat down with Prime Minister Modi on February 25 for delegation-level talks during which India and America signed three agreements.
According to data by Broadcast Audience Research Council, the mega event at the world’s largest cricket stadium on February 24 had a total of 11.69 billion viewing minutes across India.
