PM Modi unlikely to address joint session of US Congress
However, this is unlikely to happen now mainly because of the elections in November and urgency on the part of the lawmakers to go back to their constituencies for campaigning. As a result, both the House of Representatives and the Senate are likely to be not in session when Modi visits Washington.
While there has been no official word on Modi's visit to the US, it is expected to be in the last week of September. As of now Congress is expected to be in recess, as Members of the House of Representatives would be busy campaigning for the November general elections.
