The lawmakers lauded the efforts of the prime minister, a media release said yesterday.
Describing Modi as a "true grassroots leader", Pathak said India is all set to ensure 100 per cent sanitation coverage by 2019.
The event - the first in a series -- was organised by Chairman of the Fairfax County's Republican Committee Matt Ames, Member of the Trump campaign's Asian American Advisory committee Punit Ahluwalia and Adapa Prasad of Overseas Friends of the BJP in the US.
