Rooted in culture, the caucus strives to build lasting political power that reflects the values and aspirations of South Asian Americans in New Jersey.

Last year, Sanjay organized a Diwali get out the vote rally that featured Senator Andy Kim. In the current election cycle, he has been the co-organizer of some events in Harry Dunham Park, including a meet and greet with DNC Vice Chair Shasti Conrad as well as an event for the Hodges and Tompkins campaign for Township Committee.
