“This guy is 43 years old, immigrated to Canada, speaks broken English with an Indian accent, but somehow he’s a member of parliament and running to be the next prime minister,” wrote X user Chris Brunette. .
“Imagine if I moved to Mumbai, took an introductory course to speak Gujarati, and then ran to replace Mr. Modi,” he added.
