Washington : Indian-American Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal on Thursday projected himself as a “doer” among “talkers” as he entered the crowded 2016 presidential race, vowing to repeal President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare plan and destroying the “evil” of radical Islam.
44-year-old Jindal, the first Indian-American to make a presidential bid, is the 13th Republican aspirant to target the White House in this election cycle.
“My name is Bobby Jindal. I am Governor of the great state of Louisiana, and I’m running to be President of the greatest country in the world, the United States of America!” he said at a campaign launch event held in New Orleans. Jindal, whose term as Governor ends in January, claimed he was a different kind of candidate and sought to dismiss opposition to his candidacy, saying he was running “without permission from headquarters”.
“The United States of America was made great by people who get things done, not lots of talk or entertaining speeches,” the son of Indian immigrants said.
