US presidential candidate Joe Biden wishes Indians on Ganesh Chaturthi

US Democratic Party presidential candidate Joe Biden on Saturday greeted Indians celebrating the Hindu festival of Ganesh Chaturthi.

β€œTo everyone celebrating the Hindu festival of Ganesh Chaturthi in the U.S., India, and around the world, may you overcome all obstacles, be blessed with wisdom, and find a path toward new beginnings," Biden said in a Twitter post.

Biden who accepted the Democratic Party nomination to run for President this week against incumbent Donald Trump had earlier named Indian-Jamaican origin Kamala Harris as his vice presidential candidate.

The greetings on Twitter may also be an attempt to garner the support of the American Indian community about a million of whom are seen as eligible to vote in the November elections.

Trump and some of his predecessors have celebrated the Hindu Festival of Lights β€” Diwali β€” in the White House with members of the Indian American community.
