Modi said Trump was a "true friend" to India, and described the US president as "warm, friendly, accessible, energetic and full of wit."&#xa0;<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Trump also praised Modi, calling him "one of America's greatest, most devoted, and most loyal friends." He also endorsed his own immigration policies, comparing tightening security at the US-Mexico border to India's security concerns with its neighbor, Pakistan.&#xa0;"We are taking unprecedented action to secure our southern border and stop illegal immigration," Trump said of his border security plan, an important campaign issue in Texas.&#xa0;"Both India and US also understand that to keep our communities safe, we must protect our borders," he added.Mayor of Houston Sylvester Turner also symbolically handed Modi a key to the city.&#xa0;&#xa0;Modi has emerged as one of the <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/23/world/asia/india-election-narendra-modi.html">most powerful politicians in India's history</a> after his Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party won a landslide victory in May.Modi's visit and piling of praise onto Trump during the rally is being <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-plays-unusual-role-of-warm-up-act-at-massive-rally-for-modi-in-houston/2019/09/22/18cf7a2a-dd50-11e9-8dc8-498eabc129a0_story.html">seen by observers</a> as a clear-cut endorsement of the president as he prepares his 2020 reelection campaign.

“I happen to like PM Modi a lot. He told me we will have 7 million people between the airport and the event. It's going to be the largest stadium in the world. It's going to be very exciting,” Trump told ANI. A lot of people have been questioning the 7 million number especially since the state of Gujarat is 6 million. Moreover, the newly built stadium — where Modi and Trump are likely to give a joint speech — can accommodate only 110,000 people. Ahmedabad Municipal Commissioner Vijay Nehra on Wednesday said the number of those expected to be present at the roadshow will be "around one lakh". <div type="twitter" handle="vnehra" handlename="Vijay Nehra" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/441991637015605248/d3C1106m_normal.jpeg" favoritecount="656" retweetcount="113" status="#MaruAmdavad says #NamasteTrump #IndiaRoadShow is getting bigger &amp; bigger 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 More than 1 lakh participants al… https://t.co/wrj8ZPByrO" createdat="1581840131000" id="1228952702799040512"></div>

 In reality, Modi has 17 million followers ahead of Trump and neither of them top the charts. Football star Christiano Ronaldo has the largest fan following with nearly 123.2 million followers and 122.2 million likes making him the most-followed person with a verified personal page on Facebook. This isn’t the first time that Trump has been wooed by Modi’s popularity. <div type="image" title="modi2_edited" msid="73554342" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi (left) and US President Donald Trump (right)&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div>

 Last year, Trump opened for the Howdy Modi rally in Houston, Texas. According to comedian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUoNEnY6ASM">Hasan Minhaj</a> — who was at the event but blacklisted from attending because of his comments on the Indian elections — Trump’s decision to open for Modi at the rally was based on the fact that NSG stadium was completely sold out. Trump did not disclose when this dinner took place. If there was to any correlation between the two events, it would be purely speculative. However, it seems much of Trump’s respect for Modi comes from the Indian Prime Minister's online popularity. Nonetheless, it doesn’t stop Trump from offering his help with Kashmir — the most recent of which was at the World Economic Forum at Davos — even after India has repeatedly asserted that it’s strictly a bilateral issue. There’s a lot riding on Trump’s visit to New Delhi in February. India is hoping to sign a limited trade deal and civil aviation deal. Here’s hoping that Trump’s love for Modi’s fan following and the desire to be ‘number one’ on Facebook is enough of an incentive.

Here’s how Donald Trump described Narendra Modi to a journalist

<ul><li>Donald Trump will be the seventh US president to visit India in the last 72 years. </li><li>India and the US embarked on their trade partnership in 1949 when India’s first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru visited the US. </li><li>Modi and Trump are likely to address a joint rally at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Motera near Ahmedabad. </li></ul>From<a href="https://kalingatv.com/nation/taj-mahal-spruced-up-ahead-of-trumps-visit-to-agra/"> Agra </a>to Ahmedabad, civic authorities across several cities are aggressively working to clean and beautify the country to welcome US President Trump. The 36-hour visit of Trump and first lady Melania is expected to redefine the diplomatic ties between India and America. Modi and Trump are likely to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/worlds-largest-cricket-stadium-to-host-modi-trump-gathering-kem-chho-trump/articleshow/74097014.cms">address a joint rally at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Motera </a>near Ahmedabad. They have done it before at the ‘<keyword id="7883284" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="howdy-modi">Howdy Modi</keyword>’ event during September in the presence of 50,000 Indian-Americans in Texas. Much ahead of the visit,<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/india/news/us-may-not-sign-10-billion-trade-deal-with-india/articleshow/74203993.cms"> rumours of a $10 billion trade deal were doing the rounds</a>. But, Trump dashed hopes saying that it will not happen during the visit. But the countries are expected to sign a <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/govt-approves-2-6-billion-naval-helicopter-deal-with-us-ahead-of-trumps-visit/articleshow/74215383.cms">$2.6 billion defence deal </a>to buy 24 Seahawk Helicopters. The visit comes at a time when both Modi and Trump <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/28/world/asia/trump-modi-india.html?auth=login-google">are going through a crisis</a> of their own. India has seen a large number of protests against a citizenship bill while Trump is in the middle of an impeachment debate ahead of the US general election this year. The US and India shared diplomatic ties for a long time, which went through many twists and turns. The US is India’s second largest trade partner after China and this visit could give a new direction to the escalating trade tensions between US-India. Trump will be the seventh US president to visit India in 72 years. As Trump prepares his visit to India, here’s a look at all the US presidents who visited India: <div type="Slideshow" msid="74223320" hostid="261" title="From Bill Clinton to Barack Obama, here are all the US Presidents who visited India" firstImageMsid="74223525" slideCount="6"></div>

Raising his voice strongly against terror, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Friday that India is a country which has given the world 'Buddha' and not "yudh" (war), and that is why when it raises its voice against terror, it not only has seriousness, but also anger. Addressing the 74th Session of the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), the Prime Minister also urged the world to unite against terror. "We believe that terrorism is not a challenge for any one country, but for all the countries and the mankind as a whole. So for the sake of mankind, the world has to unite against terror," Modi said. He also said that the world should not see terror in different terms. Other highlights from Modi's speech at UNGA: India has highest number of martyrs in UN Peace Keeping Force. India working on 450 GW renewable energy goal. Today, we are running a campaign against single-use plastic in India. In the next five years, along with water conservation, we are going to make water available in 5 crore new homes. By 2022, when India will be celebrating its 75 years of independence, we would have built 2 crore new homes for the poor. India's socio-economic achievements inspiration for world. India has saved over $20 billion by clamping down on corruption.

<ul><li>While <keyword id="773932" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Food-inflation-data">food inflation data</keyword> shows it is under 4%, the prices of a few essential foods like pulses and vegetables have spiked. </li><li><keyword id="617887" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="RBI-survey">RBI survey</keyword> says that households expect inflation to rise by 40 basis points over a 3-month ahead horizon. </li><li>RBI also said that “salary outgoes remained muted”, in its monetary policy committee report. </li></ul>When bread is too expensive, one should eat cake. This statement could have caused a revolution in France, but for Indians who are scrambling to keep their food budgets stable, might save a buck or two by tweaking their diet. The overall food inflation data shows has been hovering around or under 4% between February and August this year. This is in spite of erratic rains affecting the prices of perishable foods like meat and fish. These price hikes are balanced out by other food prices which have either remained steady or declined. “Softer increases in the prices of eggs, and deflation in the prices of fruits and sugar cushioned the rise in overall food inflation,” said an RBI Monetary Policy Committee report released today. Indian households expect price rises Few Indian homes are buying into ‘All is well’ ringtone that is being sounded everywhere from <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/abki-bar-trump-sarkar-pm-modi-heaps-praise-on-friend-donald-trump/articleshow/71249519.cms">Howdy Modi rally</a> in the US to Finance Minister’s press conferences. In fact, most of them are budgeting for price hikes ahead. “The Reserve Bank’s September 2019 round of inflation expectations survey indicates that households expect inflation to rise by 40 basis points over a 3-month ahead horizon and 20 basis points over a one-year ahead horizon, possibly responding adaptively to the rise in food prices in recent months,” said RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das during a press conference announcing a 25-basis point cut in interest rates on October 4. Replace meat with eggs Most people have already cut down purchases of non-essentials like automobiles, as RBI itself admitted that “salary outgoes remained muted”, in its monetary policy committee report. While purchases of essentials cannot be cut, replacing a few could keep budgets intact. Those who love meat have to shell out more as their prices went up by 8.5% in August, according to CEIC. This key protein source can be replaced with yet another healthy option---which is eggs. Their prices went up by a bare 0.3% in the same period, making them affordable. Bad news for vegetarians Vegetarians however will have no option but to shell out more as prices of pulses spiked by 6.9%. What makes it worse is that prices of vegetables also went up by the same extent, making it tougher to get by. But if vegetarians can replace their much needed vitamin and mineral source by reducing vegetable intake and increasing fruit intake, they might get a hold on their budgets. The prices of fruit on the other have come down by 0.7% bringing in good news for healthy munchers. Those with a sweet tooth however have a lot to celebrate as sugar and confectionary prices came down by 2.4%. Those who love fried foods, packed meals and non-alcoholic beverages too can gain as their prices grew in the 2-3% range. But binging on sweets and snacks because of their prices are low might not be a good idea. As the prices of non-institutional medicines spiked by a whopping 9% for the same period.
