Aam Aadmi Party MP Raghav Chadha extended his thanks to the Bharatiya Janata Party government. This gesture came just one day after he staged a protest in Delhi. Chadha wore a delivery agent's uniform to draw attention to the struggles of gig workers.
Chadha's Protest and Government Response
Raghav Chadha has been a vocal advocate for reforms in the gig economy. He spent time talking to hundreds of delivery partners over recent months. Many workers shared stories of being overworked and underpaid. They often risk their lives to meet unrealistic delivery promises.
On social media platform X, Chadha posted a message. He expressed deep gratitude to the Central Government. He praised its timely and compassionate intervention. The government enforced the removal of '10-minute delivery' branding from quick-commerce platforms. Chadha believes this move will significantly improve safety for gig workers.
