Rajasthan Leaders Demand Enforcement of Gig Workers' Welfare Law

Ashok Gehlot and Tikaram Jully advocate for enforcing a law to protect gig workers, highlighting provisions like welfare funds, insurance, and working hours. Originally enacted in July 2023, the law ensures social security for internet-based workers. The initiative resonates with Rahul Gandhi's long-standing support for the proletariat.

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot and Leader of Opposition Tikaram Jully have called on the state government to implement a law designed to protect gig workers.

The Rajasthan Platform Based Gig Workers Act, passed by Gehlot's previous government in July 2023, aims to provide gig workers with welfare provisions including a social security fund, insurance, and set working hours, an initiative praised globally.

Both Gehlot and Jully stress the importance of this legislation in safeguarding the rights of workers in the modern gig economy, aligning with Rahul Gandhi's efforts to fight for the rights of the weaker sections and providing social security to workers in digital platforms like Ola and Uber.
