In December 2024, Chief Minister Revanth Reddy held a meeting with gig workers and promised to create a dedicated welfare mechanism. Since then, the government has consulted senior officials and the legal department, and it has prepared the draft of the Telangana Platform-Based Gig Workers Bill 2025. The cabinet has now approved the bill, and it has also launched the initial implementation process.

The government will set up a special welfare board with the Labour Minister as chairman. Moreover, the board will include representatives from platform companies, gig workers, civil society, and technology experts. It will operate from Hyderabad and will manage worker registration, welfare schemes, safe working conditions, and transparent payment systems. Workers can self-register, and platforms must submit their worker data within 60 days. Additionally, all aggregators must register within 45 days.

The bill also creates a welfare fund supported by aggregator fees, CSR donations, and government grants. Furthermore, a dispute resolution committee and an appellate system will address complaints. Platforms must give prior notice before removing a worker, and authorities will impose penalties for any violations.

Legal experts said the Speaker holds two choices. First, he may cancel all petitions and give a clean chit to all MLAs. The second option is to disqualify only those who allegedly have strong evidence of defection. Congress leadership reportedly prefers resignation from MLAs Danam Nagender and Kadiyam Srihari instead of direct disqualification, as it may appear more dignified. The other eight MLAs may likely receive a clean chit if the Speaker files an affidavit before the Court.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and the Speaker plan to consult senior Supreme Court lawyers soon for clarity. Meetings are expected immediately to decide the legal path. Experts said the decision cannot be delayed further, and the final order must be issued before the deadline.

A firm decision is expected soon, and political circles are eagerly watching this key development.

Praveen Kumar accused Chief Minister Revanth Reddy of colluding with the Election Commission to create chaos during the by-election. He claimed to have provided the officials with examples of areas where bogus voting occurred. He also stated that the Commission was asked to deploy additional security in sensitive booths.

According to him, there was no proper security at several polling stations in the Shaikpet division. Even though fake voters were identified live, police reportedly failed to stop them. He alleged that bogus voters were freely allowed to leave polling booths after casting votes.

RSP added that many fake voters carried xerox copies of IDs instead of originals, and their names differed from those of genuine voters. He criticized both the police and election officials for allowing such irregularities without verification.
