U.S. Game To Do Business With Any Indian Government Elected Next

Noting that Modi may well emerge as the prime minister after the elections, he wrote in a Foreign Policy blog, "the United States now faces the prospect of being estranged from the most powerful person in India."

"As problematic as this situation has become, the United States has bigger troubles in its relations with India than Modi," wrote Goel, who previously served in the White House’s National Security Council as senior director for South Asia.

"The political estrangement inexplicably extends to the whole of the BJP," he wrote.

"Over the past ten years, while the BJP has languished in the opposition, the United States has let its relationship with the party atrophy almost to the point of on-existence."

"The United States should remedy this situation as soon as possible to avoid any unwelcome surprises," Goel said suggesting the U.S. government also "needs to reform its untenable visa position on Modi."
