Jindal is being widely speculated by the Republicans to take on Barack Obama in 2012 presidential elections.
He has been selected by the party to respond to the Obama's State of the Union Address on Tuesday.
“He's somebody I think we're all looking to, to demonstrate that Republicans do have a positive solution to the challenges facing this country,” said House Minority Whip Eric Cantor.
“Bobby's certainly is one of those people,” he said.
Jindal, 37, is leading the Republican fight against Obama's stimulus package. He has been opposing it and on Friday he announced that his State will refuse some funding from the stimulus package.
