Tamil Nadu: Kamala Harris' supporter expresses confidence, says "she will prevail"

Thulasendrapuram (Tamil Nadu) [India], November 6 (ANI): Amid the counting of votes for the US presidential elections, a special Pooja was organised on Wednesday morning for Kamala Harris at Sri Dharma Sastha Sri Sevaka Perumaal Temple in her ancestral village of Thulasendrapuram, Tamil Nadu.
Harris' supporter, Joy, who came to stay in the Thulasendrapuram village from Chicago expressed confidence about the Democrat candidate winning the US elections. However, the early trends show Trump leading. According to the latest projections by CNN, Donald Trump is leading on 230 electoral votes and Kamala Harris is ahead on 182.
"About six weeks ago while travelling in India, I realised that I could be in Kamala Harris' (ancestral) village. It just felt right and here I am. I arrived this morning and I will leave tomorrow. Unfortunately, my time in India is almost up," Joy said while speaking to ANI.
"It has been a stressful and anxiety producing process, as you might imagine, in the United States and in India and for the world. I believe that Kamala will prevail. I believe in the goodness of the American people. I feel that in my heart. This is my first time being here in the temple and I will attend the 'Aarti' tonight. I was on a bus and everyone had a smile on their face when they knew about my reason for coming here and the bus driver gave me a free ride," she said.
Thulasendrapuram village happens to be the birthplace of Harris' maternal grandfather, PV Gopalan.
Meanwhile, several other supporters of Kamala Harris visited her ancestral village to attend the special puja. Sherin Shivlinga from Las Vegas, Nevada said, "I have come to see the village where Kamala Harris's grandparents were born and raised. We are waiting for the results of the election, we are nervous, we want her to win so badly."
Meanwhile, another puja was organised by Anushanath's Anukragni organisation in the 'Thulasendrapuram' village in Tiruvarur for Kamala Harris.
The organisation's founder, Ballu, affirmed hope that Vice President Harris will win the upcoming elections.
"Kamala Harris is going to contest the US Presidential elections. She will definitely win the elections. We have organised a special puja for her victory. If she wins the polls, it will be a very happy occasion for the whole state," he said.
Earlier, an 11-day-long Maha Yagnam was conducted in Telangana for the victory of Kamala Harris in the US Presidential Elections.
Politico has said Trump is ahead on 214 and Harris on 179. While, Fox News projections keep Trump ahead at 216 and Harris at 193. (ANI)
