During a BJP rally in Mumbai, Maharashtra minister Girish Mahajan encountered public backlash from a woman frustrated by traffic congestion caused by the event. The rally intended to spotlight the defeat of a women's reservation bill in the Lok Sabha.

While Mahajan addressed reporters, the woman confronted him, criticizing the traffic disruption and questioning why the demonstration couldn't occur in a less intrusive location. The minister's attempts to calm her were unsuccessful, with the exchange quickly gaining online traction.

Critics have used this incident to argue against BJP's protest tactics, highlighting it as a symbol of increasing public frustration, especially among women, towards the party's political maneuvers.
