US EditionViral Video: Woman Confronts Police, Minister over Traffic Chaos in Mumbai; Netizens Say, ‘Give This Lady Bharat Ratna’
The woman accused BJP protesters of blocking roads as police tried to calm her, and the video quickly spread online.
- On Tuesday, a woman confronted Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajanon in Worli, Mumbai, after traffic congestion from a BJP demonstration supporting the women's reservation bill blocked her commute.
- The rally aimed to target opposition parties over the Lok Sabha defeat of the Constitution amendment bill, which sought to implement a 33 per cent reservation for women in legislative bodies.
- "You are causing a traffic jam," the woman told Mahajanon, asking why the rally could not be held at a nearby open ground. Police personnel eventually escorted her aside as she continued protesting.
- Former state Congress president Nana Patole described the protest as "drama," while Maharashtra Congress president Harshwardhan Sapkal accused the BJP of using the issue to push a "false narrative" for political gain.
- Sapkal claimed the opposition alliance already thwarted "the BJP's attempt to alter Constitutional and electoral processes under the guise of reservation," alleging the ruling party now uses rallies to revive the failed bill.
