Leader of Opposition and Congress leader 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.
Criticising PM Modi, Gandhi asserted that the life of loco pilots had completely "derailed" under BJP's regime and called them "Railways Ka Agniveer". LoP Rahul Gandhi on Sunday posted a message along with a video on his social media handle X where he was spotted interacting with railway functionaries. In a post, he wrote that the loco pilots are forced to work more than 14 hours a day and are deprived of small basic necessities like urinals in a locomotive. He conveyed that loco pilots have to work in harsh conditions. Furthermore, LoP Gandhi claimed that the "non-movement" workers of Railways are getting whole benefits from the allocated budget to Railways. As seen in the video, the loco pilots alleged that their human rights were being violated and they demanded a normal 8-9 hours working shift instead of 16 hours shift, fulfilment of basic facilities like urinal and AC in locomotives and only two-night shifts in consecutive order. After this interaction, Gandhi took a resolution and stated that the INDIA bloc would raise their voice in Parliament against these atrocities. Taking it to a social media post on X, Gandhi wrote, "In the government of Narendra Modi, the life of loco pilots has completely derailed. Loco pilots are forced to work 16-16 hours a day, sitting in cabins boiling with heat. Those on whom millions of lives depend, no longer have any confidence in their own lives. Deprived of even basic facilities like urinals, loco pilots have no limit on working hours and they do not get any leave. Due to which they are becoming physically and mentally exhausted and ill. In such circumstances, making loco pilots drive the train means putting their lives and those of the passengers at risk. INDIA will raise its voice in Parliament to improve the rights and working conditions of loco pilots. By watching this small discussion you can also feel their pain." https://x.com/RahulGandhi/status/1809872298301702446 Earlier, on Saturday, after meeting the street vendors and daily wage labourers in the GTB Nagar of the national capital Delhi, leader of the opposition and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi attacked BJP's central government and said that the daily wage labourers are facing troubles and hardships in their regime.
