After a couple of visits to India by British Prime Minister David Cameron, Chancellor George Osborne and former Foreign Secretary William Hague took the opportunity to travel there for business and investment opportunities. They promised that they would be happy to erect Gandhi's statue in London’s Parliament Square.
Rt Hon David Cameron together with Mr Arun Jeitley, India’s Finance Minister, Lord Desai and other dignitaries unveiled the statue on the centenary of Gandhi's arrival to India from Africa! As such all Indians were very happy with the Conservatives and felt that the Labour Party completely ignored the interests of their Indian and Hindu public.
During the last four weeks, and specially the last three days before last week’s General Election and cut-throat campaigning by all parties, most opinion polls and media forecasts put Labour and Tories as neck and neck.
Indians and Hindus all over Britain, but more in and around London, including Asian Voice writers and readers like CB Patel, Kapilbhai, Alpeshbhai, Bhupendrabhai Gandhi, my wife Ila, mnyself, and many more, were busy propagating incessantly about why we should all vote for the Conservatives!
To everybody's surprise including the Prime Minister’s, he has achieved a land slide overall majority victory.
