“Preet Bharara belongs to the Democratic Party, to which Barack Obama belongs. He is angling for a mayoral post in New York City. He is going to contest it from Manhattan.

If we examine the demographics of this area, we will see that 65.2% of the population is White American and 25.8% is Hispanic or Latino in origin, meaning Whites, but not of American origin.

Apart from this, the population is 18.4% Black or African American and 12.0% Asian.

Manhattan has the second highest percentage of non-Hispanic Whites (48%).

From these demographic figures we can learn that Bharara depends mostly on white voters for his win.

Of the 12.0% Asians and 25.8% Hispanics, most of them are illegal immigrants. The bill for regularization of these illegal immigrants is being pushed by the Democratic Party but being strongly opposed by Republicans.

Preet Bharara wants to gain sympathy from Hispanics and at the same time appease American whites; that’s why he targets high-profile Asians to prosecute and tries to show that he is more American than Americo-Asian.

In the end, it is all vote-bank politics, just like in India.”
