Rahul hails Telangana Govt’s move to frame law for gig workers

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hailed the Telangana Government’s move to bring a law for the welfare of gig workers and urged Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy to conduct state-wide public consultations for the draft legislation.

In a letter to Reddy, Gandhi said he was impressed, during his recent visit to Hyderabad, by the vibrant public consultative process for the socio-economic, educational, employment, political and caste survey (ongoing in the state).

“I request you to conduct similar state-wide public consultations for the draft legislation for gig workers as well. Hearing from all parties will ensure that the law is robust, effective and meaningful. The process can also help anchor future regulations for this sector,” Gandhi wrote.
