Watch: Woman confronts Maharashtra minister amid traffic chaos at BJP rally
A BJP rally in Mumbai’s Worli area over the women’s reservation bill turned contentious when Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan was confronted by an agitated woman frustrated with traffic disruptions. The incident, captured on video, quickly went viral and drew sharp criticism from opposition leaders.
Mumbai: Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan faced the ire of a woman angered by traffic snarls during the BJP’s demonstration over the women’s reservation bill in Worli area of Mumbai on Tuesday.
The incident occurred when Mahajan was addressing reporters at the rally, organised to target opposition parties over the defeat of the Constitution amendment bill, which aimed to fast-track the implementation of 33 per cent reservation for women in legislative bodies, in the Lok Sabha.
An agitated woman confronted the minister, shouting at him for blocking roads and causing inconvenience to commuters.
“Get out of here. You are causing a traffic jam,” she said, asking why the rally could not be held at a nearby open ground instead of disrupting vehicular movement.
As Mahajan attempted to pacify her, the woman returned and continued her tirade, saying, “Did you not understand? What is wrong with you? There are hundreds of people waiting.”
When a police official intervened, she snapped back, refusing to engage and demanding that no one speak to her.
The episode, captured on video, quickly gained traction online, amplifying criticism of the BJP’s protest tactics.
Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal shared the clip, alleging that the ruling party’s campaign on women’s reservation exposed its “real face”.
He accused the BJP of misleading women for political gains and using the issue as a tool to push a “false narrative”.
Sapkal further claimed that the opposition alliance had already thwarted “the BJP’s attempt to alter Constitutional and electoral processes under the guise of reservation”, alleging that the saffron party was now resorting to rallies and propaganda to revive the issue.
Former state Congress president Nana Patole also posted the video, saying ordinary citizens were being harassed due to the BJP’s “drama”.
He said the woman’s outburst reflected growing public frustration, asserting that women across the country would similarly reject the BJP in the future.
महिलांच्या सशक्तीकरणाच्या नावाखाली राजकारण करणाऱ्या, आरक्षणाचा मुद्दा पुढे करून महिलांची दिशाभूल करणाऱ्या आणि त्यांना केवळ राजकीय साधन म्हणून वापरत खोटे नॅरेटिव्ह पसरवणा-या भाजपाचा खरा चेहरा या भगिणीने वरळीहून निघालेल्या मोर्चासमोर जाऊन उघडा पाडला आहे.
