Ditching his formal attire and political boardrooms for a day, Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha lived a day as a Blinkit delivery agent. He shared a video of him on X dressing up as a delivery boy and hitting the roads on a bike with the bag carrying orders.
At the time of publishing, the video had garnered more than four lakh views.

The video
In the video online, the politician writes, "Away from boardrooms, at the grassroots. I lived their day. Stay tuned!"
However, he left his followers in anticipation with the "stay tuned" message.
A video was shared with the tweet. It showed Chadha putting on the bright yellow Blinkit uniform. He carried the delivery bag, likely filled with items for customers, on his back. Then, he joined another Blinkit rider on a scooter. After that, they started their long day of making deliveries. The short clip wraps up just as Raghav steps out of an elevator and approaches a doorstep with the Blinkit rider.
His saga with Blinkit
About a month ago, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP’s called out the "exploitative realities of the country's gig economy" in a social media post, as he shared a screenshot showing a Blinkit agent earning the meagre Rs 762.57 after completing 28 deliveries.

He has been very vocal about the gig workers and even spent New Year's Eve with them at Old Rajinder Nagar. "Their demands for fair pay, humane working conditions, dignity at work and social security are legitimate and just. This protest was not about disruption, but about being heard. I stand with them in solidarity," he had said in a post on X earlier.
The AAP MP has time and again called for "dignity" and respect for the delivery agents and even hosted lunch for a Blinkit delivery boy. "I invited Himanshu, a Blinkit delivery boy, over for lunch. Through his social media post, he had recently shared the harsh realities and miseries faced by riders/delivery boys," he had said on X on December 27, 2025.
Chadha said he had also raised the issue in Parliament.
