Indian truck drivers are the lifeline of our logistics and deserve a life of dignity too,” the statement said.They are at the forefront of Bharat Jodo, literally, and their progress is bound to have a positive cascading effect on the entire economy of India, it added.Watch the full video here:Gandhi travelled from Delhi to Chandigarh in a truck Last month.
