Workers are the backbone of the country, the government has considered them a burden, Rahul Gandhi raised questions on inflation and labor code.

Former Congress President Rahul Gandhi, citing the protests by workers working in various factories in Noida adjacent to Delhi, on Tuesday said that workers are the backbone of the country, but the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has considered them a burden. The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha supported the workers and also claimed that the government hastily implemented four labor codes last year which increased the daily working hours to 12, but there was no increase in the honorarium of the workers.

Rahul Gandhi posted on ‘X’, “What happened yesterday on the streets of Noida was the last scream of the workers of this country, whose every voice was ignored, who were tired of asking.” He said, “A laborer working in Noida has a monthly salary of Rs 12,000, rent of Rs 4,000-7,000. As long as he gets an annual raise of Rs 300, the landlord increases the rent by Rs 500.” He says that till the salary increases, unbridled inflation “strangles life, drowns it in the depths of debt and this is the truth of ‘developed India’.’

He said, “This is not just about Noida. And it is not just about India either. Fuel prices are skyrocketing all over the world, the supply chain has been broken due to the war in West Asia. But the burden of America’s tariff war, global inflation, broken supply chain has not fallen on Modi ji’s “friendly” industrialists. The biggest hit has been on the laborer who earns daily wages and only then has his daily food. Is.”

According to Rahul Gandhi, another important issue is that the Modi government hastily and without communication implemented 4 labor codes from November, 2025, under which the working time was increased to 12 hours. He said, “The laborer who works standing for 12-12 hours every day, still pays the school fees of his children by taking loan. Is his demand unreasonable? And the one who is killing his rights every day – he. “Developing?”
