Raja is causing harm to our Community and voters of Illinois 8th Congressional District. I last two Elections I voted for him. He totally Ignore. Last month He went to Houston to Support Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Narendra Modi openly supports Donald Trump. It’s can’t be Democratic Party policies. You can’t played both side. Raja doesn’t care about his voters he is carrying a foreign agenda. He is not solved or listening his voters. He became a spokesman of Indian government instead of his constituents. He got millions of dollars in his campaign account. How he got this money he must be investigated.
