Two Indian-American doctors belonging to the Republican party have won State Congressional elections. Dr. Prasad Srinivasan won the 31st district of the Connecticut State House of Representatives and Dr. Janak Joshi secured victory in the 14th district of the Colorado State House of Representatives. The American Association of Physicians of Indian Origin (AAPI) has said in Washington that this is an amazing day for them as they celebrate the victory of two of their own members in statehouses in Connecticut and Colorado. AAPI president, Dr. Ajeet Singhvi said, the rise of Indian Americans continues across all facets of life in America, including politics. He said, Dr. Srinivasan will be the only physician in the Connecticut General Assembly while Dr. Joshi practiced medicine for more than thirty years, with both now bringing a unique health care perspective to their respective legislative bodies.
