Indian-origin Randeep Dhillon wants to ‘make California affordable again’.
Dr. Randeep S. Dhillon is one of the lesser-known Republican candidates for California’s gubernatorial election who wants to make the state affordable. As he released his campaign videos ahead of the primaries in June, he was trolled for his English and MAGAs on social media distanced themselves from Republicans because of his Indian origins. A social media post shared Dhillon’s recent video saying, “Meet Randeep Dhillon, who is running for Governor of California. His latest campaign ad shows him barely speaking English while claiming he wants to somehow fix literacy in CA. No, this is not sarcasm. Yes, this is very real.” Dhillon said that if he wins, he will recognize children who maintain GPA levels 3.87, 3.93, support first car purchases after graduating from school, and give a $505 credit. There will be a waiver on registration fees for the first year, Dhillon said while unveiling his MACA scheme. Another social media handle said, “This guy is running on fixing literacy in CA but can’t speak English to advertise. This is real.” “It’s almost ridiculous but seriously worrying. Who is letting these people run for office?” One wrote. One wrote defending Dhillon and requesting people not to judge him based on the way he speaks, “He may not be fluent, but he is saying something that most people ignore. That’s what really matters.” Many people pointed out how he was openly trying to buy votes by promising free cars to 16-year-olds.
