Trump Calls Modi To Congratulate Him On Electoral Success
U.S. President Donald Trump called Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday and congratulated him on his recent electoral success, the White House said.
Press Secretary Sean Spicer told reporters that Trump congratulated Modi on his success in the assembly polls.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) came into power in four of the five states that went to polls recently, including the crucial state of Uttar Pradesh.
It, however, lost Punjab to main rival Congress after the results were announced on March 11.
Anchored mainly by Modi and his aide Amit Shah, the BJP juggernaut rolled on in UP and in the neighbouring state of Uttarakhand, bagging three-fourth majority.
The BJP returned to power in the politically-crucial state of UP after a gap of 15 years during which regional parties such as the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party held sway.

Goa and Manipur had hung assemblies after the polls, but the BJP managed to form the government with the support of other parties.
The elections in the five states had turned into a virtual referendum on Modi's popularity following his decision to demonetise Rs 500 and Rs 1,000 currency notes.
