Chalil emphasized that Ramaswamy sets himself apart from other candidates as a fresh face in the GOP field who appeals to younger voters with his business background.
“You realize the guy’s so much younger than I am, and so sharp… he’s not like, ‘I’m the politician, you vote for me or pay me $3,000 or $6,000 and I’ll do this for you.’ You know, there is nothing like that. Just hey, ‘I’m one of you. You know, I want to change the way things are and I can fix it,'” Chalil said.
He viewed politics in India 25 years ago to be “pretty dirty and pretty corrupt” and politicians serving for life contributed to that, he said.
