Hitting out at the BJP for criticising Gandhi's US visit, Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi said the party vice president has gone abroad only 0.0001 per cent as compared to Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"If you calculate, Rahul Gandhi's foreign visits constitute barely .001 per cent of the visits made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi abroad.
"But it has become a habit of some people (like BJP) to make fun of this and crack jokes. The BJP has become a master at doing it," he said.
He is expected to meet US politicians with whom he will discuss policy and bilateral issues. The Congress vice president is also likely to meet intellectuals, researchers and the academia and have a first-hand view of emerging technologies like nanotechnology, biotechnology and artificial intelligence, sources said.
