A video is going viral on social media, which shows a woman venting out her anger on BJP leader Girish Mahajan during the party's Jan Aakrosh rally from Jamboori Maidan to the NSCI Dome, Worli. In the video, the woman can be seen shouting and screaming that she was stuck in traffic for more than an hour when she had to go pick up her child. The video shows the woman telling Mahajan and the demonstrators to get off the road and go on the ground, and allow the traffic to pass.

The woman was on her way to pick up her child from school. But due to the BJP rally, she was left stranded in traffic for several hours. Frustrated by the standstill, she stepped out of her vehicle, walked into the centre of the march and engaged in a heated exchange with Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan.

Even as the minister tried 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."
A visibly frustrated woman asked why the rally could not be held at a nearby open ground instead of disrupting vehicular movement.
When a police officer stepped in, she reacted sharply, refusing to engage and insisting that no one speak to her. The incident, caught on camera, quickly went viral online, drawing widespread criticism of the Bharatiya Janata Party’s protest tactics.
Girish 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.
He accused the BJP of misleading women for political gain and using the issue to push a “false narrative.”
Sapkal further claimed that the opposition alliance had already blocked what he described as the BJP’s attempt to alter constitutional and electoral processes under the guise of reservation, adding that the party was now turning to rallies and propaganda to revive the issue.
Former state Congress chief Nana Patole also shared the video, alleging that ordinary citizens were being harassed due to the BJP’s “drama.” He added that the woman’s outburst reflected growing public frustration, claiming that women across the country would similarly reject the BJP in the future.
