Hyderabad, November 14, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi arrived in Hyderabad on Saturday to participate in a programme focused on gig and platform workers and deliver the valedictory address at the second Bharat Summit.
Gandhi was welcomed at Shamshabad Airport by Telangana Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy, Deputy Chief Minister Bhatti Vikramarka Mallu and Telangana Pradesh Congress Committee president Bomma Mahesh Kumar Goud.
The gig workers’ programme, scheduled near the Hyderabad International Convention Centre (HICC), will bring Gandhi into direct interaction with delivery executives, cab drivers and other platform-based workers. Key rules, regulations and welfare initiatives under Telangana’s gig workers legislation are also expected to be formally launched, with Gandhi scheduled to inaugurate the initiatives.
Later, Gandhi will address the valedictory session of the Bharat Summit, which began on November 12 and is being organised by the Telangana government. His address is expected to outline an alternative vision for India’s foreign policy, based on principled multilateralism, strategic autonomy, peaceful coexistence and democratic values.
According to the summit’s agenda paper, Gandhi’s vision emphasises an India that engages with the world through partnerships, speaks with moral clarity and strategic confidence, and represents the aspirations of the Global South in international forums.
The three-day gathering is being positioned as a major international platform for progressive leaders and Global South voices. It seeks to draw on the legacy of Afro-Asian solidarity and the Non-Aligned Movement, which India helped shape.
More than 1,000 delegates from 70 countries, including policymakers, political leaders, thinkers and changemakers, are participating in the summit.
