In a post shared on Facebook, Rahul Gandhi stated, "Dallas has provided a fantastic start to my USA tour! My interaction with students and faculty at the University of Texas was dynamic and engaging, with thoughtful discussions on politics, production, skill-respect in India, and the vital role of youth and women in shaping the future of our nations."

"In my address to the Indian Diaspora, I emphasised key values essential to Indian politics: love, respect, and humility.
