Sydney: In a replay of the crowd and the euphoria at New York-s Madison Square Garden, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was Monday cheered lustily by an over 16,000-strong gathering of the Indian diaspora at Sydney-s Allphones Arena, where he promised to fulfill their expectations of a resurgent India.

Modi, who arrived from Brisbane earlier in the day after attending the G20 summit meeting, spoke for an hour at the Allphones Arena where people wore T-shirts with Modi photos emblazoned on them.
