NEW DELHI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has a packed schedule for his final day in the United States.
On Wednesday, the Congress leader is set to meet with several US congressmen on Capitol Hill and attend various other meetings before departing for India.
According to president of the Indian Overseas Congress Sam Pitroda, Rahul Gandhi’s three-day visit has been eventful.On Tuesday, he participated in a fireside chat at the University of Texas, a large community event with nearly 4,000 attendees, and a community dinner. Upon arriving in the current location, Gandhi had meetings with administration officials and engaged with students at Georgetown University.
Pitroda stated that the specifics of the meetings with US lawmakers are not yet clear, but they will be interacting with a considerable number of people from Capitol Hill, including congressmen.
“Rahul Gandhi is visiting the US for three days. We had a full day in Dallas yesterday, where we had three main events, Rahul Gandhi had a fire side chat with the students in Texas, then we had a large community event with almost 4,000 people and then we had a community dinner in the evening. Then we came here today, and had a couple of meetings with the administration, friendly meetings with the people we know personally, and then we interacted with the students at the Georgetown University. Now we are here to interact with about 600 Indians. From here, we will go have dinner. Tomorrow, we have meetings on Capitol Hill. We have National Press Club meeting, we will have a conversation with think tank, and several other meetings,” he told reporters.
During his address to the Indian diaspora in Herndon, Virginia, the leader of opposition continued his criticism of the BJP, claiming that the fear of Prime Minister Modi among the people has vanished following the results of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
“Something has changed after the elections. Some people said ‘Darr nahi lagta ab, dar nikal gaya ab’ (We are not afraid anymore, the fear is gone now). It is interesting to me that the BJP and PM Modi spread so much fear, and the pressure of agencies on small businesses, everything vanished within seconds. It took years for them to spread this fear and vanished within seconds,” Rahul said.
“In Parliament, I see the Prime Minister right up front and I can tell you that the idea of Mr Modi, 56-inch chest, direct connection with God, that’s all gone now, it’s all history now,” he added.
