This is a two for one.

Both Dev Mahajan (left) & Atul Kothari (right), seen here grinning as they meet #Modi in Houston, have collectively donated over $11,000 to Sri Preston Kulkarni.

Dev Mahajan is a close associate of Ramesh Bhutada & is pictured here w/Ramesh's son Rishi.

This is a four for one. L to R: Sushma Mahajan (Dev's wife), Rishi, Dev, & Thara Narasimhan. Between the four of them, they've collectively donated over $30,000 to Sri Preston Kulkarni.

Like @hssusa VP Ramesh Bhutada, Thara Narasimhan appears to be taking a keen interest in Sri Preston Kulkarni's campaign. Not surprising, considering her closeness to Bhutada.

Left: Narasimhan & Kulkarni; Right: Tulsi Gabbard, Narasimhan, & Bhutada.

Here Sri Preston Kulkarni speaks w/Narasimhan while RSS-linked donor Ashok Danda stands in back right. Also a frequent host of fundraisers for Kulkarni, Danda is former president of the US branch of Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation, a project of VHP, the religious wing of RSS.

When Thara Narasimhan isn't interviewing Sri Preston Kulkarni for her radio show or posing w/his mom as she helps him campaign, she's posing w/president of @VHPANews at @VHPDigital event where #RSS chief spoke or organizing #NaMo campaigns to help re-elect #Modi from Houston.
