This marks Rahul Gandhi’s first trip to the United States since the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, an event that has stirred curiosity both in India and abroad.

Sam Pitroda, the chief of the Indian Overseas Congress, had earlier announced the visit and highlighted the eagerness of the NRI community, business leaders, technocrats, students, and political figures to interact with the Congress MP. "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," Pitroda said.
Rahul Gandhi’s visit comes at a pivotal time in Indian politics. After the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, he has been gaining momentum through his strong stances on various public interest issues. His ongoing efforts to rally support and unite the opposition have kept him in the political spotlight. Analysts predict that his US visit will create waves back in India, stirring further political debate and discourse.
In June 2024, Rahul Gandhi was appointed Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, a move that solidified his growing influence within the Congress party. His US trip is expected to further cement his position as a global political figure.
