US Secret Service Personnel Arrive In India Ahead Of President Obama's Visit

Ahead of Barak Obama's arrival in India, 25 of the best US Secret Service agents have come to Delhi to supervise his safe stay in the country. The agents are presently staying in the The Maurya Sheraton Hotel. They have held a meeting with officials of Indian security agencies and Delhi police to discuss the security issues; the meeting was conducted in the basement of the hotel and lasted for an hour and half.    

“Ahead of the US President’s scheduled visit, an “advance security liaisoning meeting” was held in the basement of the hotel where the senior officials of intelligence agencies and officials from Security Wing of Delhi Police, Additional Commissioner of Police SBS Tyagi and Additional DCP Amit Roy were present,” a source said.

The Delhi Police officials presented their plan of action to their US counterparts and asked them to reciprocate. The agents of the US secret service are satisfied with the security road map of the Delhi Police. 

But the Indian officials could not get much success in convincing the US security folks to let the President travel in the Indian President's limousine that will take him to Rajpath. The matter is supposed to be negotiated again.  

“Interestingly, US secret agents told the Indian intelligence agencies that the US President will be accompanied by his chefs to ensure that his food is not spiked,” a police source informed the media.

It should be noted that when President Obama went to Myanmar last year in November to attend the East Asia Summit, six aircraft of equipment, vehicles, oil tankers, helicopters,  and 1600 US personnel were send to oversee the visit. Even the fuel used by the security cavalcade of President was brought from the US in Navy ship.  

Around 10000 paramilitary personnel will join the Delhi Police whose strength is around 80000 to make the Rajpath parade a full-proof exercise.

Barak Obama will be landing on Indian soil on 25 January.

Jeb Bush To Explore His Chances For 2016 Presidential Run

Ex-governor of Florida and brother of  former President George W Bush, Jeb Bush has expressed his desire to run for the top post in 2016.

"[Will] actively explore the possibility of running for President," he updated his Facebook status on Tuesday.  He will form a political action committee to "facilitate conversations with citizens across America."

Mr Bush is considered to have pro-immigration views that are going to be a major issue in the 2016 campaign. His open views on immigration as well as on education have enraged some of the fellow conservative Republicans.

His name is not the only one to be doing the rounds for the top spot. Former first lady and current Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton is currently the frontrunner for a Democratic ticket.

Mr Bush would be the fourth member of the Bush family to seek the President's office; his brother George W Bush and his father George Bush Sr served a combined 12 years in the White House, and his also ran for the post.  

It needs to be noted that he is going to face stiff competition from Republican Senators Rand Paul, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz. And Governor Chris Christie is also not lagging far behind.
