Rishi Sunak\'s rise to PM is Obama moment for British Hindus, says UK Hindu leader

Deccan Chronicle  

LONDON: Rishi Sunak becoming UK's Prime Minister is “our Barack Obama moment,” said the leader of a Hindu temple that was set up by the Indian-origin leader's grandfather. Sunak, 42, on Monday won the race to lead the Conservative Party and is now set to become Britain's first prime minister of Indian origin. Sanjay Chandarana has celebrated the UK's first British Asian prime minister, who is set to be officially appointed on Tuesday after meeting King Charles, the report added. “It's like for the UK, it's the Barack Obama moment, where a non-white person becomes Prime Minister for the first time, also a person from Indian-origin and Hindu which is another dimension and everyone is very proud.
