#WATCH | Texas, USA: Lok Sabha LoP and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi says, "The RSS believes that India is one idea and we believe that India is a multiplicity of ideas. We believe that everybody should be allowed to participate, allowed to dream, and should be given space regardless of their caste, language, religion, tradition, or history. This is the fight and the fight was crystallized in the election when millions of people in India clearly understood that the Prime Minister of India was attacking the Constitution of India...Every single word that I have said to you is in the Constitution. The foundation of modern India is the Constitution. What people understood in the election clearly, and I saw it happening when I used to raise the Constitution, people understood what I was saying. They were saying that the BJP is attacking our tradition, attacking our language, attacking our states, attacking our histories. Most importantly, what they understood was that anybody who is attacking the Constitution of India is also attacking our religious tradition. That is why in my first speech in Parliament you must have noticed when I describe Abhayamudra, the fact that this is a symbol of fearlessness and it is present in every single Indian religion....When I was saying this, the BJP could not stand it. They don't understand and we are going to make them understand. The other thing that happened was that the fear of the BJP vanished. We saw that immediately, within minutes of the election result, nobody in India was scared of the BJP or the Prime Minister of India. So these are huge achievements, not of Rahul Gandhi or the Congress party. We are peripheral. These are huge achievements of the people of India who realized democracy, of the people of India who realized that we are not going to accept an attack on our Constitution. We are not going to accept an attack on our religion, on our state...."

India's Government Debt: A Beacon of Safety and Prudence
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman has recently highlighted the robust and secure nature of India’s government debt, describing it as “safe and prudent.” In a series of posts on social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Sitharaman emphasized that debt assessments should consider GDP growth, often overlooked in straightforward comparisons of absolute numbers.
Sitharaman contrasted the current government’s fiscal management under Prime Minister Narendra Modi with that of the previous Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA). She noted that despite facing the economic challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Modi administration has demonstrated superior fiscal discipline.
Addressing the promises made by Congress in its manifesto, Sitharaman questioned the fiscal feasibility of schemes proposed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, such as the ‘Khata Khat’ initiatives. Gandhi had promised to transfer ₹1 lakh to one woman in every poor household if Congress wins the elections. Sitharaman challenged this by asking how Congress plans to finance such schemes, whether through substantial borrowing or increased taxes.
She highlighted that India’s debt-to-GDP ratio stood at 81% in 2022, which is significantly lower than that of several major economies. For comparison, Japan’s debt-to-GDP ratio was 260.1%, Italy’s was 140.5%, the USA’s was 121.3%, France’s was 111.8%, and the UK’s was 101.9%. This comparison underscores India’s relative fiscal stability.
Additionally, Sitharaman pointed out that India’s central government debt is predominantly rupee-denominated, with external borrowings accounting for less than 5% of total debt. This structure minimizes India’s exposure to exchange rate volatility. She recalled that the central government’s debt as a percentage of GDP was reduced from 52.2% in 2013–14 to around 48.9% in 2018–19 through fiscal consolidation efforts. During this period, the fiscal deficit was also reduced from 4.5% in FY14 to 3.4% in FY19.
However, the fiscal deficit surged to 9.2% of GDP in 2020–21 due to the pandemic and necessary government interventions to protect lives and livelihoods, increasing the central government’s debt to 61.4% of GDP. Post-pandemic, the Modi government has adopted a balanced approach to fiscal consolidation while maintaining economic growth, reducing the fiscal deficit to 5.8% in the Revised Estimates for FY24.
In conclusion, Sitharaman’s detailed breakdown underscores the prudent management of India’s government debt, emphasizing the country’s strong fiscal position relative to other major economies. The current administration’s focus on fiscal consolidation and economic growth post-pandemic showcases a commitment to maintaining financial stability while fostering development.

Rajasthan Passes Bill For Social Security To "Gig Workers"
This article on 'Rajasthan Passes Bill For Social Security To Gig Workers' was written by Priyanka Jaipuria an intern at Legal Upanishad.
INTRODUCTION
After the USA, China, Brazil, and Japan, India has emerged as the fifth-largest marketplace for gig workforces worldwide. In an open marketplace model known as the “Gig Economy”, consumers or companies temporarily hire independent contractors. Contractual employees who are recruited and fired on a temporary basis might find work through the gig economy. The gig worker, as stated by Uber, Swiggy, Zomato, and others, does not have set working hours or a fixed place of employment; as a result, they are not covered by prevailing labour legislation. To avoid obligations like the minimum salary, the Provident Fund, and other benefits, they refer to their personnel as “delivery partners” instead of “employees”. The Bill is a welcome relief for Rajasthan’s gig workforce in this situation. It will make sure that the gig workforce has exposure to entitlements in accordance with the state government’s implied schemes. This article has examined the important aspects of the Rajasthan Government’s social security law for gig workers as well as the present necessity for it. The gig sector holds enormous potential for the development of the economy, but this is only possible if workers are given sufficient legal protections and liberties. Realizing this, the administration of Rajasthan passed the “Rajasthan Platform-Based Gig Workers (Registration and Welfare) Act, 2023” as the country’s first state legislation relating to the gig workforce.
RATIONALE BEHIND THE INTRODUCTION OF THE BILL
The law came about after social activist Nikhil Dey suggested it to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi during the latter’s Bharat Jodo Yatra in Rajasthan in December 2022. Subsequently, Rahul asked Gehlot to come up with social security and a support system for gig workers. During the February Budgeting Session, CM Ashok Gehlot presented the Bill and stated that “Currently, companies like Ola, Uber, Swiggy, Zomato, Amazon, etc. have engaged young workers on contract on a per-transaction basis. Such workers are called gig workers. Like elsewhere in the world, the scope of the gig economy is continuously growing in the state. Today, the number of gig workers in the state has increased to 3-4 lakh. These big companies do not make any arrangements for social security for these gig workers”. The Rajasthan government just enacted a substantial Bill on July 24 with the intention of expanding social security coverage to gig workers. According to the state government’s rationale for the legislation, “In spite of their major contribution to the economy and employment, gig workers form a part of unorganized workers and are still not covered under the labour laws. They do not receive the same level of protection as traditional employees get”.
WHO ARE GIG WORKERS?
A gig worker is a member of the labour force who receives compensation from sources other than the typical employer-employee relationship and who is employed by one or more platforms or aggregators, which include Swiggy, Zomato, Uber, Urban Company, etc., under the terms of a contract that specifies a certain rate of remuneration. They offer a range of services, including graphic design, website development, domestic services, e-commerce, and food delivery.
MAIN FEATURES OF THE BILL
Inclusion of Workers Categorized as Partners: The purpose of the legislation is to rectify the absence of protections and advantages for gig labourers, who were formerly considered “partners” instead of employees at organizations such as Ola, Swiggy, Zomato, etc. Fund for Social Security and Welfare: The state administration would create “The Rajasthan Platform-Based Gig Workers Social Security and Welfare Fund” in accordance with the bill’s terms for the betterment of the certified gig workforce. The money collected from the welfare cess imposed on an aggregator or employer will be deposited into the fund. Welfare Board for Gig Workforce: The interests and security of gig labourers in the state will be under the control of this board. The board would convene at least once every six months, with the Labour Minister serving as chairperson. Provision for Registration: Each gig labourer who is hired by aggregators (online middlemen that connect customers and service providers) or primary employers (who hire gig labourers directly) functioning in the territory of Rajasthan is required under the Bill to register before the Board. The Act mandates that every aggregator and employer enroll with the Board within 60 days of the Act’s effective date. Maintenance of an Extensive Database: The Rajasthan administration will keep an extensive record of every gig worker there. Every gig worker will receive a special ID that will make it easier to track their working history and benefits. Accessibility to Social Security Initiatives: The gig sector will have recourse to a variety of social security initiatives that include health care, accident protection, and other assistance programs to help out in times of need. Mechanism for Redressing Grievances: The Act guarantees that gig workers possess the right to be heard and that their complaints will be addressed. This clause aims to safeguard gig worker’s rights and give them a forum for resolving workplace-related conflicts. Penalties for Failure to Comply: The law contains provisions for fines in the event that aggregators fail to comply. Aggregators who do not pay the welfare fees by the deadline will be assessed interest at a rate of 12% per year. The state administration has the authority to punish aggregators up to Rs. 5 lakh for a first offense and up to Rs. 50 lakh for consecutive infractions of the Act.
SUGGESTIONS
The framing of a specific bill by the Rajasthan government dealing with gig workforces is a remarkable approach, and it becomes the duty of the state government to ensure proper implementation of the provisions and strict adherence to the guidelines of the legislation. For this purpose, proper maintenance of data relating to registration, funds, and other related matters is required. Not only the Rajasthan government but also the Central Government must make efforts to equalize the rights of this crucial sector so it may evolve further without leaning on exploitation.
CONCLUSION
People’s perspectives on employment have shifted as a result of the rapid growth of the gig market. The range of gig success in a place like India is broad and multilayered. It is encouraging to see that the government of Rajasthan has thought about putting light-touch regulations in place to strike a balance between business requirements and the expanding gig economy. Gig worker’s share of the workforce has increased significantly as a consequence of their benefits, which include the capacity to choose their own work schedule, shifts, breaks, and days of work. However, there is no specific statute or legal precedent addressing gig workforces under India’s labour laws. Employers have exploited this discrepancy all across the world. A sign of optimism for the acknowledgement of gig workers and their fundamental rights is Rajasthan’s recently enacted bill. Achieving social security for the gig economy will be made easier with the support of this recognition, which will also help aggregators better understand their obligations. The groundbreaking law, which is thought to open a fresh chapter in the history of worker rights, is truly urgently needed.
