Indian diaspora members cheer Narendra Modi

After his speech, he was mobbed by diaspora members, many of who were clicking themselves with him, while some placed silken scarves on his shoulder.

With media persons making a scramble to click Modi and looking for a soundbyte along with the push of diaspora members around the chief minister, it was a mad melee. The security persons of Modi had to firmly push away people to make way for the chief minister to walk out of the hall.

Modi did not take any questions from the media as he exited the hall. He also got a lot of written questions from the audience, so many that he remarked it would take him weeks to answer them. To those who had written their emails with the questions he promised he would answer all the queries.

"We Indians abroad are looking for change. We are all supporters of Modi," said a diaspora member from the US.

The other chief ministers who spoke were Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy, Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda an Meghalaya's Mukul Sangma.
