Rahul Gandhi To Visit US From September 8-10 For Key Engagements

New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the opposition in Lok Sabha, is set to visit the United States from September 8-10.

During his trip, he will connect with the Indian diaspora, academic circles, and business leaders in Dallas and Washington DC, announced Satyanarayan Gangaram Pitroda, Chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC), in a video message on Saturday.

Pitroda highlighted the high demand for interactions with Gandhi since he took on his current role. “We’ve received numerous requests from the Indian diaspora, diplomats, academics, and business leaders for engagements with Mr. Gandhi,” he said.

Gandhi’s itinerary includes a visit to the University of Texas in Dallas on September 8, where he will address students and academics before participating in a community gathering and dinner with local technocrats and leaders.

On September 9 and 10, Gandhi will be in Washington DC, meeting with think tanks, members of the National Press Club, and other stakeholders.

Pitroda noted that the visit reflects the increasing interest from the Congress-ruled states like Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and potentially Maharashtra, as well as Gurugram. “We anticipate a successful visit and are eager to welcome Rahul Gandhi to the US,” he concluded.
