‘Indian- American’ Louisiana Republican Gov. Bobby Jindal throws his hat in
Jindal’s pronouncement came as no surprise to the over three million strong Indian American community, which gave enthusiastic support to his Congressional and gubernatorial campaigns but now feels alienated with such talk.
Jindal’s announcement came on his website, hours ahead of a kickoff rally.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal announced his bid for the presidency on Wednesday in Kenner, Louisiana, a New Orleans suburb.
“The next step on this is the left and (Democratic front-runner) Hillary Clinton are going to be waging an all-out assault on our religious liberty rights”, Jindal said Friday morning when talking to reporters outside a Machine Shed restaurant.
Jindal has already visited New Hampshire several times and he was one of almost 20 candidates who participated in the FITN Republican Leadership Summit in Nashua in April. He was Louisiana’s secretary of Health and Hospitals and president of the Louisiana University System, and he chaired the Republican Governors Association.
Jindal, who earned a huge popularity once, being a Republican star, struggled with a fiscal crisis and the popularity was degraded later in his home state itself.
As the governor spoke inside, anti-Jindal protesters amassed outside.

He added it was incumbent on migrants entering the United States to be “ready and willing to embrace our values, learn English, and roll up your sleeves and get to work”.
He was re-elected in 2006, and a year later ran for governor in 2007 securing an outright majority in the first round of balloting and became the first Indian American governor in the United States.
“Today, Chief Justice Roberts admitted that the gay marriage ruling had nothing to do with the Constitution”. They are part of a growing field that includes Florida Sen. Mike Walsworth, a Republican from West Monroe and a long-time ally of the governor. For example, I’m the only one offering a plan on how you repeal and replace Obamacare.
Lawyers said the delay will probably only last a few days. “He’s been a good friend and a good friend to my district”.
“We intend to spend a lot of time here”, said Jindal, whose wife, Supriya, was at the Manchester event with him Thursday. I think the exact opposite is true.
