The recent confirmation of Kash Patel becoming an FBI director has sparked a lot of conversation on Indian social media. Interestingly, it seems that Anand Mahindra is also going to gift him a brand new Thar car.
In a slim 51-49 vote, the U.S. Senate approved the appointment of Patel, an Indian-origin official and close ally of President Donald Trump. Needless to say, this appointment has been met with a mix of pride and contention among Indian citizens. It is historic because it is the first time a Hindu and Indian-American has led the FBI. However, many people raised questions about his close relationship with President Trump and his ideology.

Needless to say, the billionaire businessman has the best response to these requests.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Mahindra has given cars as gifts to people who have accomplished great things. He actually gave India’s first armless archer, Sheetal Devi, a brand-new Mahindra Scorpio-N. In the same manner, he presented Naushad Khan, the father of young Indian cricketer Sarfaraz Khan, with a Thar in recognition of his role in his son’s cricket career.
