The visit comes at a time when the Congress party is focusing on building international alliances and strengthening ties with the global Indian community. "There are a lot of events planned with a variety of people because we find that people also have a lot of interest in the states we run with a Congress government, especially Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and hopefully Maharashtra – Mumbai, Pune," Pitroda noted, highlighting the attention Gandhi's visit has garnered from the business and technology communities.
Rahul Gandhi, a five-term MP, currently represents Rae Bareli in the Lok Sabha, a seat previously held by his mother, Sonia Gandhi. His political career has seen him play a pivotal role within the Congress party, and his international engagements are being closely watched, both at home and abroad.
"We look forward to a very successful visit and to welcoming Rahul Gandhi to the US," Pitroda concluded.
