When Prime Minister Modi said that he had brought documents related to people named Biden living in India, Biden asked, “Do I have any connection with them?” On this PM Modi said, ‘Yes’. He said, “President, you spoke in detail today about the surname Biden in India. You had discussed this with me before. After you mentioned it, I checked the documents. Today I have brought many such documents with me.”

Recalling that Biden was in Mumbai when he was US Vice President in 2013, he said he was asked if he had any relatives in India. “I said I’m not sure about that, but when I was first elected in 1972 at the age of 29, I received a letter from Mumbai with a man named Biden,” he said.

This time he told me that the next morning the press told me that there are five Bidens living in India. Explaining this in more detail, Biden said jokingly. He further said that the East India Tea Company had Captain George Biden. Which is hard for an Irish person to accept. I hope you understand the joke. He probably stayed there and married an Indian woman.
