Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition (LoP), is all set to visit the US for a three-day tour starting from September 8, informed the Indian Overseas Congress (IOC) chief Sam Pitroda on Saturday.
Sharing details of Rahul’s US itinerary via a video
message, Sam Pitroda said he will visit Dallas, Texas on September 8
and Washington DC on September 9-10.
He said that the Indian diaspora including NRI
residents, technocrats, business leaders, students, media fraternity, and even
political leaders are eager to welcome the Congress MP and are looking forward
to interacting with him.
Breaking down the details of Congress MP’s daily
schedule, Pitroda informed: “Rahul Gandhi will be in Dallas on September 8 and
will be in Washington DC on September 9 and 10th. In Dallas, he will have
interactions with University of Texas students, academicians, and community
people. He will have a very large community gathering, will meet some
technocrats, and then have dinner with the leaders from the Dallas area. The
next day, he will go to Washington DC a similar interaction with a variety of
people, including a think tank, the National Press Club, and others are planned.
“There are lots of events planned with a variety of
people because they also have interest in the states where Congress party runs
governments, particularly the tech cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, Mumbai and
Pune. We see great interest in conversation with business and technological
community,” he further informed.
“We look forward to a very successful visit and to welcoming Rahul Gandhi to the US,” Pitroda said on a concluding
note.
He also said that he was ‘bombarded’ with questions
about Rahul Gandhi’s US visit from various quarters and this video message was
apparently to inform them about the Congress leader’s short but highly
anticipated trip to the US.
“Since Rahul Gandhi has become the leader of the
opposition, I as chairman of the Indian Overseas Congress, with a presence in
32 countries have been bombarded with requests from Indian diaspora diplomats,
academicians, businessmen, leaders, international media, and many others for
interactions with Rahul Gandhi. He is coming to the US for a very brief visit,”
he said before giving out details of Rahul’s proposed US visit.
Rahul Gandhi after the 2024 Lok Sabha
results has been creating good momentum and garnering people’s support with his
views on many issues of public interest. Political watchers anticipate his US
visit to be more newsworthy and stir bigger controversy back home, this time.
Rahul won elections from two Lok Sabha
constituencies – Rae Bareli and Wayanad, however, he chose to retain the former
and leave the latter for his sister Priyanka Gandhi.
In June, he was appointed the Leader of
Opposition (LoP) after getting a nod from the Congress Working Committee (CWC).
