The "Modi Ka Parivar" event, which was held in New York's Times Square on April 14, drew supporters of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is seeking another term in office in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
After an opposition leader made fun of Prime Minister Narendra Modi for allegedly having "no family" during a public event in Patna in March, numerous Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders came out in support of the prime minister, sparking the "Modi ka Parivar" (Modi's family) movement. The ruling party's social media accounts were updated to read "Modi ka Parivar" in response to the attack.

Prominent members of the community, including leaders and volunteers, attended the event to declare their allegiance to Modi, highlighting the enormous support that the Prime Minister has in the United States. Volunteer Krishna Reddy expressed his satisfaction at the turnout, stating, “It's heartening to witness so many people coming together to support our beloved Prime Minister. This gathering truly demonstrates the strength and unity of the Modi Parivar."
The Times Square event was preceded by marches in Michigan, Los Angeles, and Illinois. The Michigan event took place on Apr. 13 at Riverfront, in downtown Detroit where supporters showed up with “Modi Ka Parivar” placards. PM Modi’s supporters raised slogans “We are ‘Modi Ka Parivar”, “Abki Bar 400 Par”, and “Teesri Bar Modi Sarkar,” among others.
In Los Angeles, 100 Indian diaspora supporters gathered at Hollywood Blvd and revealed a “Modiji Star of India” similar to ones dedicated to famous personalities at the tourist spot. In Illinois, around 100 Modi supporters gathered at the Vivekananda Palace in Chicago dressed in saffron-colored clothes for the Modi ka Parivar march.
