"The vice presidential couple weren't really able to pull it off," he says, referring to JD Vance and his wife Usha's scaled-back trip in March and lack of public engagements.

Vance arrived in India on Monday, accompanied by his wife Usha and their three children.

Usha Vance's parents migrated to the US from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh, and some media reports have said that Vance and his wife are keen to introduce their children to their Indian heritage.

The meeting included bilateral talks between Vance and Modi, a larger meeting with staff, and a dinner with the vice president’s wife, Usha Vance, and their three children.

Interest in the family runs high in India, given that Usha Vance is a daughter of Indian immigrants from the southern state of Andhra Pradesh.
