amerind political leaders on wed congratulated popular leader Zohran Mamdani on his triumph in the young York City mayoral elections, defeating former governor Andrew Cuomo in a battle where even the President openly voiced out against him.
Mamdani, 34, defeated former NYC governor Andrew Cuomo, who was contesting as an Independent in the race, to win the polls.
Following his victory, Congress leader Shashi Tharoor extended his wishes to the Democrat candidate, with a screenshot from New York Times saying ‘Mamdani’s improbable run ends in victory.'
“Wonderfully apt! Warmest congratulations to my old friend @MiraPagliNair on her son @ZohranKMamdani’s spectacular victory and to his uncles, my Stephanian friends Vicky and Gautam Nair, for their nephew’s triumph!” Tharoor said in a post on social media platform X.
Congress national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate highlighted Mamdani's mention of former prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
“@ZohranKMamdani invokes the immortal words from Pandit Nehru’s Tryst With Destiny speech to honour the architect of modern India. Nehru’s legacy continues to echo across oceans and generations, no matter how much you malign him Mr Modi. Deal with it!” Shrinate posted on X.
Swaraj India founder and Supreme Court lawyer Prashant Bhushan said Mamdani's win has “many lessons for politicians across the world.” “Zohran Mamdani, a Muslim immigrant wins New York’s mayoral election! He calls himself a Democratic Socialist, and favours free buses, free childcare & freeze on rents in NY,” Bhushan said.
He further said on X that Mamdani had defeated “big money and Trump who called him a communist & ganged up to defeat him.” Bhushan said the win shows that people “want to support those who honestly challenge the establishment & the Status Quo, & dont get scared of big money & trolling.”
Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra also cheered for Mamdani, saying he had not just won NYC, but also “all our hearts.” Thanking Mamdani, she added that he had also given the hope “that love & being brave & true to one’s self ultimately triumphs."
