Rahul Gandhi shares video highlighting struggles of labourers, loco pilots

Rahul Gandhi shares video on Facebook highlighting struggles of labourers and loco pilots in Delhi, vows to fight for justice.

Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi shared a video on Facebook sharing snippets of his recent interaction with labourers and loco pilots in Delhi.

In the video Mr. Gandhi posted on Tuesday evening, several people were purportedly sharing their daily struggles. They spoke about inflation and poverty and how things were better during the earlier Congress regime. The Congress MP said that everyone in the country has to bear the brunt of inflation, unemployment and the government's negligent approach.

"Today in India, everyone from daily wage labourers to government employees are in dire straits--some due to inflation, unemployment, and some due to government negligence," Rahul Gandhi said.

Assuring people that he will raise their issues in Parliament as well as during protests, Rahul Gandhi said, "I will raise my voice for everyone's rights and provide justice — from the streets to the Parliament."

Earlier this month, Rahul Gandhi attacked the BJP-led central government after meeting railway loco pilots at New Delhi Railway Station who complained about "long working hours" and "inadequate facilities" during duty.
