Indian prime minister borrows MAGA catchphrase: ‘Our vision is to Make India Great Again’

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi borrowed the MAGA catchphrase for his own country, creating the acronym, “MIGA.”

“Our vision for a developed India is to Make India Great Again, or MIGA,” Modi declared during a news conference with US President Donald Trump today (13 February).

“When it’s MAGA plus MIGA, it becomes MEGA,” Modi added. “A MEGA partnership for prosperity.”
