Raghav Chadha Posts Teaser of Stint as Blinkit Rider to Spotlight Gig Worker Conditions

The AAP MP frames the video as part of his push for stronger protections for delivery workers.

Overview

  • The short clip on X shows Chadha in Blinkit gear riding pillion, collecting an order and reaching a doorstep before ending with the message "Stay tuned."
  • The video extends his recent interventions on low pay, long hours and lack of social security for delivery partners, alongside criticism of 10‑minute delivery timelines.
  • Social media responses ranged from praise for hands‑on advocacy to questions about whether he formally signed up as a rider or simply accompanied a partner.
  • The move follows nationwide delivery‑worker strikes over pay and safety, during which Chadha said workers seeking fair wages are not criminals.
  • Chadha has welcomed the Labour Ministry’s draft Code on Social Security (Central) Rules, 2025, which outline eligibility for benefits for gig and platform workers.
