"Low income and rising inflation are devastating the lives of India's gig workers," Gandhi stated in Hindi. The Gandhi scion held a conversation with Sunil Upadhyay, the Uber driver, and subsequently visited the driver's family to understand the issues encountered by gig workers such as taxi drivers, the news agency report stated.

"Discussed with Sunil Upadhyay ji during an Uber ride and then met his family to examine the problems of gig workers like cab drivers and delivery agents in the country, he wrote and added, "They are barely surviving on a 'hand-to-mouth' income, with no savings or secure future for their families."

He vowed that Congress-led state governments would develop laws to address these concerns and that the INDIA bloc would ensure that they were enforced countrywide.

"To resolve these issues, Congress state governments will do justice by making concrete policies - and INDIA Janbandhan will ensure its nationwide expansion with full struggle," Gandhi tweeted. 

Gandhi is seen in the video, which lasts more than 11 minutes, booking an Uber and interacting with the driver, who is from Etah, Uttar Pradesh, the news report stated. The driver described his struggles, noting low earnings, a lack of social security, and the difficulty of making a living in Delhi, which prompted him to ponder returning to his village.

Following the journey, Gandhi offered a gift to the driver's children. The next day, he met the driver's family for lunch at a Delhi restaurant, promising them that Congress governments were committed to ensuring social security for gig workers and their families.
