Three lawmakers to join Obama on India trip

Washington, Jan 21: Three Democratic lawmakers, including the lone Indian-American Congressman Ami Bera, whose parents moved to the US from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state of Gujarat in the 1950s, will join President Barack Obama on his India trip. Bera, co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on India and India Americans, will be joined by his predecessor Joe Crowley, who is currently vice chair of the Democratic Caucus and Senator Mark Warner, co-chair of Senate India caucus. "As the son of Indian immigrants, I am extremely honoured to be a part of this historic trip to India with the president," said Bera. Bera became India Caucus co-chair at the beginning of the current 114th Congress.
