Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro is all set to arrive in New Delhi as chief guest for India’s 70th Republic Day. But several critics have alleged that the Modi government decided to invite Bolsonaro, nicknamed “Trump of the Tropics” because Donald Trump had refused an invitation extended to him by India. Bolsonaro’s anti-establishment populist style and his controversial statements can be a reason to be called Trump of the Tropics.
