AHMEDABAD - It may be a misunderstanding, a translation error or his showman schtick, but Indian officials are tempering Donald Trump's expectations that millions of Indians will line up to welcome him next week - by a matter of zeroes.
On Tuesday Trump said that Modi"told me we'll have 7 million people" lining the route from the airport, and on Thursday at a rally in Colorado Springs the president went higher still, with"anywhere from six to 10 million people". Indian officials have indeed organised a big"India Road Show" along the 22km stretch, including 28 stages for performing artists and decorations depicting the life of independence hero Mahatma Gandhi.
The total population of Ahmedabad at the last census was 5.6 million, and that of Gujarat state 63 million. There have been no reports of mass movement into the city ahead of Trump's visit.
