Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi on Monday (August 19, 2024) highlighted the plight of gig workers and asserted that the Congress governments in States would make concrete policies to solve their problems while the INDIA bloc would strive for ensuring their nationwide implementation.

Mr. Gandhi made the remarks on X, where he posted a video of a recent ride he took in a Uber cab and the interaction he had with the driver.

"Low income and inflation ruining lives - this is the plight of India's gig workers!
