Ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's state visit to the U.S. on June 22, senior Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be visiting the country for a week at the end of this month during which he will attend several programmes.
 
According to party sources, Rahul Gandhi is slated to leave for the U.S. on May 30 or 31 and will visit California, Washington and New York.
 
"During his visit, he will participate in public outreach programmes as well at university meets," the sources said.
