Rahul Gandhi Backs Protesting Noida Workers, Slams Modi Govt’s 4 Labour Codes

He also criticised the Modi government over the implementation of labour codes “without any consultation”, saying that they have extended working hours to 12 hours a day without any corresponding increase in wages.

“Noida’s worker is demanding ₹20,000. This isn’t greed — it’s his right, the sole foundation of his life,” Rahul said, adding that he stands with every such worker who has been “reduced to a burden” by the government.

The UP government took note of the protest and announced a revision of the workers’ salary structure after the Monday incident.
