In his first foreign visit after being elevated as Congress President, Rahul Gandhi will be going to Bahrain on January 7 evening and is scheduled to address an NRI conclave on January 8, sources said.
According to party sources, the visit is aimed at promoting Rahul Gandhi as a brand after his visit to the US last September received a positive response.
The sole purpose of such trips is to bolster Rahul's global image as a popular leader and also reach out to the NRIs, as Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been doing since he came to power.
