Rahul Gandhi Criticizes Government Over Autorickshaw Drivers' Plight

Rahul Gandhi has strongly criticized the Indian government, accusing it of ignoring the severe economic challenges faced by autorickshaw drivers. He described their financial woes as the 'income meter' coming to a halt, while inflation sabotages their livelihood and the government remains unresponsive.

Gandhi, who recently engaged with these drivers, shared their struggles through a video on social media. He promised to voice their concerns in Parliament. The drivers conveyed that their expenses, ranging from fuel to essential household items, have drastically risen, but their income has not kept pace.

Highlighting how the government suggests using public transport to counter personal costs, Gandhi stressed the irony as these transport operators struggle under economic pressure. He expressed concerns over everyday uncertainties faced by these workers regarding future meals and sustenance.
