When in Bengaluru do as locals do. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi hops on to a BMTC bus and interacts with passengers to understand their vision for Karnataka. The women discussed various topics including the rising price of essentials, the Gruhalakshmi scheme and the Congress' guarantee of free travel for women in BMTC and KSRTC buses with Rahul Gandhi.
Yesterday, the Congress leader who is on a visit to Karnataka for campaigning for his party, held a candid interaction with gig workers and delivery partners of app-based delivery services in Bengaluru.
The former Lok Sabha MP spoke with delivery workers at a hotel in Bengaluru.
Over a cup of coffee and masala dosa, they discussed the lives of delivery workers, the lack of stable employment and the rising prices of basic commodities.
According to Congress, Rahul keenly listened to why these youngsters had taken up gig jobs and what their working conditions were like.
Rahul Gandhi later hopped onto the pillion seat on a scooter, chatting with a delivery partner.
