While interacting with them, congress president rahul gandhi heard their grievances. He also said that legislation will be brought in to address them like the Congress-led rajasthan government. In rajasthan, we have created a category of gig workers. Whenever an order comes in, some of the proceeds go towards your social security insurance, pension, etc. on behalf of the company.

After hearing about the problems of the auto drivers, he said that in the election manifesto of the telangana congress party, they had been promised Rs. 12,000 as financial assistance.
Likewise, the contractual sanitation workers also explained to rahul gandhi their problems due to a lack of job security and other benefits. After this, rahul promised that when the congress comes to power, the chief minister will hold a meeting with them and take steps for their welfare.
