Congress:
Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi had a candid conversation with gig workers and delivery partners of Dunzo, Swiggy, Zomato, Blinkit etc at the iconic Airlines Hotel in Bengaluru, today.
Over a cup of coffee and masala dosa, they discussed the lives of delivery workers, lack of stable employment and rising prices of basic commodities.
He also keenly listened to why these youngsters had taken up gig jobs, and what were their working conditions were like.
Bengaluru alone has 2,00,000+ people doing gig jobs. The Congress party has made specific promises for them in their Manifesto, mainly:
1. To set up a Gig Workers’ Welfare Board with a corpus of ₹3,000 crore
2. To ensure minimum hourly wages for gig workers and other workers in the unorganised sector
Rahul Gandhi ji later hopped onto the pillion seat, chatting with a delivery partner about the consequences of BJP’s corruption-ridden ‘40% Commission Sarkara’, and the Congress party’s 5 Guarantees.
