Washington, Apr 24 ,2016: Indian workers are the “worst” and “hardest” to understand, Republican governor of US state of Maine Paul LePage said, stirring another controversy by his party members in this election cycle.
In his address to the Maine Republican convention, wherein the party selected its delegates for the July national convention, Page alleged that foreign workers are being used in local restaurants.
LePage said workers from India are “hardest” and “the worst ones” to understand and one has to get an interpreter to talk to an Indian. However, he then quickly described Indians as “lovely” people.
LaPage’s remarks came a day after Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump mocked Indian call centres but described India as a “great place”.
However, both LePage and Trump suffered a setback at the Maine Convention, which elected 19 of the 23 delegates who are Cruz supporters.
Maine is a small northeastern state in the US.
