Traffic chaos during the BJP’s demonstration over the women’s reservation bill in Mumbai's Worli area prompted an irate woman to confront Maharashtra Minister Girish Mahajan, blaming him for the snarls.
The incident occurred on Tuesday (April 21, 2026) 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% reservation for women in legislative bodies, in the Lok Sabha.
The episode, captured on video, quickly gained traction online, amplifying criticism of the BJP's protest tactics. The 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.
