भाई सही कहा, 10 मिनट का प्रेशर जानलेवा है रोज रोड पर रेस लगानी पड़ती है, एक छोटी सी गलती और एक्सीडेंट हो जाता है। आपकी मेहनत और हिम्मत को सलाम!

@raghav_chadha यह छोटी जीत है लेकिन बहुत ही महत्वपूर्ण है।

[Muskan Taneja @Muskan_taneja9]

Raghav Chaddha ji ka special thanks, aapane issue ko National level per Rakha.

[Raghav Chadha @raghav_chadha]

Congratulations to all Gig Workers and Delivery Partners. There is good news for you.

Central Government’s draft Social Security Rules are the first step towards recognition, protection and dignity for your work.

Even though the Platforms (Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit, etc.) chose not to listen to your voices, the people of this country and the government did.

This is a small win,
but an important win.

सभी Gig Workers और Delivery Partners को बधाई. आप सबके लिए good news है.

केंद्र सरकार के ड्राफ्ट Social Security Rules आपके काम की पहचान, सुरक्षा और सम्मान की दिशा में पहला कदम हैं.

आपकी आवाज़ भले ही इन कंपनियों (Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit आदि) ने न सुनी हो, लेकिन देश की जनता और सरकार ने ज़रूर सुनी.

यह आप���ी एक छोटी जीत है,
लेकिन एक महत्वपूर्ण जीत है.

Delivery partners across India went on strike demanding basic dignity, fair pay, safety, predictable rules and social security. The response from the Platform was to call them "miscreants" and turn a labour demand into a law & order narrative. That is not just insulting, it is dangerous. Workers asking for fair pay are not criminals. And if your system needs police to keep running on its biggest day, that is not proof the system works. That is an admission it doesn't. If you needed police to have your workers stay on the road, they're not employees. They're hostages with helmets.

I am glad my intervention in Parliament has started a nationwide debate. Let me be clear. I am pro-business and pro-startups. I have stood for innovation and entrepreneurship in Parliament. India needs its builders and risk-takers. I will always back them. But I will never back exploitation dressed as progress. I am pro-industry, not pro-exploitation. Success cannot be built by squeezing the last ounce out of the people doing the hardest work.

And apparently asking for fair pay is politics now. Strange how everything becomes 'political agenda' the moment it threatens margins or stock prices.

Now, the favourite defence: "If the system were unfair, why do so many people work in it?"

By that logic, zamindari was not exploitative because it ran for two centuries. Bonded labour was fair because people kept showing up. Every extractive system in history made the same argument. "They're still here, aren't they? Must be working."

When one day’s income decides rent, electricity, or a child’s school fee, logging in on a strike day is not approval, it is survival. It is desperation. People remain trapped when better options do not exist. And please don’t sell people a distant dream to justify a present injustice. Promising that workers’ children will do better someday is not an answer to exploitation today.

Record order numbers do not measure dignity. Lakhs of orders is a business metric, not a moral one. And it should make anyone pause when those numbers are celebrated on a night that is already known for higher-than-usual payouts compared to a regular day, while Platforms also credits ‘police action’ for keeping things under control. When scale is being applauded under those conditions, the obvious question is what is being counted and what is being ignored. That is a model being held up by pressure, not trust.

This is also about Road Safety. Incentive structures that reward speed and punish delay put everyone at risk. Not just the delivery partner on the bike. The pedestrian crossing the street. The family in the car next to them. When we celebrate a 10-minute delivery, we should ask who pays the price when something goes wrong.

Yes, technology can optimise logistics. But technology cannot replace transparency, protections and due process. A system where pay hides behind formulas no worker can see. Where incentives change overnight without notice. Where you are penalised for rain, traffic, app crashes. Where your livelihood can be switched off with one click and no hearing. That is not flexibility. That is control without accountability.

If anyone broke the law that day, act against them. But do not use a few incidents to brand protesting workers as “miscreants” and crush a legitimate demand for fair pay and dignity. Silencing questions by insulting the people asking them, is not leadership. The answer to criticism is reform and accountability.

I did not want to write a post this long. I would have preferred a healthy discussion on pay, safety, and protections. What came instead was coordinated noise. Within hours, identical talking points flooded our feeds. Board members who never discuss labour discovered social media. Influencers with no history of caring about workers began posting defences. As if someone had sent out a script. I have been in this long enough to recognise a paid campaign when I see one.😉

To those in the Platforms making personal calls and sending messages requesting for tweets in their favour: your efforts reached me before your tweets did. Many of those people are friends. They told me everything. Choose your contact list more carefully next time.

Also, the sad part is that the PR agencies got paid. Influencers got paid. Hashtags got bought. The only people still waiting for fair payment are the ones delivering your orders.

And when the arguments ran out, the attacks turned personal, on my family and my lifestyle. That is when you know the platform is panicking. When someone runs out of answers, they reach for insinuations. My life is transparent. I wonder if the same can be said for the algorithms that decide a worker's pay.

Do not waste time debating my lifestyle. Focus on improving the lifestyle of gig workers. I have been fortunate and that’s exactly why I will use my position to raise these demands. If we have been given more, our duty is to demand fairness for those who are given less.

Stop polarising a basic issue. The question is simple. Will we build India’s growth on dignity and safety, or on pressure and insecurity?

I want Indian startups to scale. I am not here for agitation or disruption. I want these businesses to grow leaps and bounds, but not on the backs of the people who keep them running.

As I said in Parliament, gig workers are the invisible wheels of the Indian economy. Platforms did not scale on code alone. They scaled on human labour. Real progress is simple and measurable. Fair and transparent pay, safety and insurance, social security, predictable rules and a grievance system with real due process. Progress is not how fast we deliver. Progress is whether the people who make the system run can live with dignity.

This is a fight I will see through. In Parliament. Outside Parliament. Until there is accountability. The workers who built these platforms order by order, kilometre by kilometre, deserve better than to be called “miscreants" for asking to be treated as human beings.

Jai Hind. Jai Bharat.🇮🇳

[Raghav Chadha @raghav_chadha]

I sat down with delivery riders of Zomato, Swiggy, Blinkit etc. This is not a rant. This is a conversation with those whose lives power our everyday comfort.

It’s tragic that millions of delivery riders who helped build instant-commerce companies into what they are today, are now forced to protest just to be heard.

These platforms didn’t succeed because of algorithms alone. They succeeded because of human sweat and labour.

It’s time companies start treating riders as human beings, not disposable data points.

The gig economy cannot become a guilt-free exploitation economy.

राज्यसभा सांसद राघव चड्ढा ने लंच पर डिलीवरी पार्टनर से बातचीत कर उसकी ज़मीनी परेशानियाँ सुनीं। यह औपचारिक मुलाकात नहीं, बल्कि उन आवाज़ों को जगह देने की कोशिश थी जो अक्सर अनसुनी रह जाती हैं।

Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha’s meeting with a delivery rider brought attention to algorithm-driven targets and unstable earnings. It reinforced the need for fair rules and dignity in India’s growing gig economy.

टोल है ही गलत। जब गाड़ी लेते समय टैक्स, पेट्रोल डीजल पर टैक्स ,बीमा पर टैक्स इत्यादि पहले से है तो टोल लेना सरकारों के मुंह पर जनता का तमाचा है कि आप में क्षमता नहीं है जनता के टैक्स के पैसे से सड़क बना सको यह सफलता का प्रतीक है और जनता इसे बर्दाश्त कर रही है बेवजह।

TOLL is taking a big TOLL on the people of India.

Today, I laid bare the daily suffering caused by this Legalised Loot.

My demand is simple: If there is a delay of more than 5 minutes at a Toll Plaza, NO TOLL should be charged.

PM modi one of the best leader

[Satnam Singh Sandhu @satnamsandhuchd]

Narendra Modi - A name that embodies unparalleled dedication, devotion, decisiveness, determination, aura, charisma, longevity and power!
Modi ji has now completed 24 years in public service, first, as the longest serving Chief Minister, and now 12 years as the Prime Minister of India! He becomes the only leader who has continuously served for 8766 days without taking a break… a true reflection of a strong character, who stands undeterred.
Modi ji’s legacy will remember him as the only leader to garner massive support in terms of huge mandates he has been able to achieve every time he stood out to be chosen!
We wish to see Modi ji continue to be at the helm for years and years to come 🙏🏻
