UK PM Election Result: The Political Elite of India, Led by PM Modi, Congratulate Rishi Sunak on his Victory

UK PM Election Result: On Monday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his "warmest greetings" to his British counterpart and congratulated Rishi Sunak on becoming the country's new leader. After his challenger Penny Mordaunt withdrew from the race, Rishi Sunak will become the first person of Indian descent to serve as prime minister of the United Kingdom.

In order to implement Roadmap 2030, PM Modi stated he looked forward to working closely with Rishi Sunak on international problems.

"Warmest congratulations @RishiSunak ! As you become UK PM, I look forward to working closely together on global issues and implementing Roadmap 2030. Special Diwali wishes to the 'living bridge' of UK Indians, as we transform our historic ties into a modern partnership," PM Modi said in his Tweet.

Unsurprisingly, Sunak, the first Hindu prime minister of the UK, was chosen for the position on the auspicious date of Diwali, a significant Hindu festival that symbolises the triumph of virtue over evil. The first Hindu prime minister of the UK will be N R Narayana Murthy's millionaire son-in-law.
Rishi Sunak has staged an astonishing political comeback in British politics just seven weeks after losing the previous Tory leadership race. In 210 years, the former Chancellor of the Exchequer will take office as the youngest prime minister of Great Britain.

After Penny Mordaunt withdrew from the race for the Tory leadership and failed to garner the required 100 nominations from her fellow MPs, Sunak won.

Rishi Sunak was born into an Indian household in the Southhampton region of the United Kingdom. His father is a general practitioner (GP) who works for the NHS. His paternal grandparents are Punjabi.
