BJP leader Girish Mahajan has responded to a viral video showing a woman confronting him over a massive traffic jam caused by the party's protest march in support of the Women's Reservation Bill. The incident occurred on April 21, 2026, when thousands of party supporters blocked the Space Technology Road for hours, leading to public outrage.
Woman's Brave Confrontation Goes Viral
In the video, the woman is seen shouting at Mahajan, demanding that the road be cleared. She is heard saying, "Road hai, baap ka property nahi!" (It's a road, not your father's property!). The video quickly spread on social media, with many praising the woman's courage in standing up to the minister.
Mahajan's Defense of the Protest
Addressing the controversy, Mahajan explained that the event was organized by women to protest against the Congress party's stance on the Women's Reservation Bill. He stated, "The event was organised by women against the Congress over the Women's Reservation Bill. Thousands of women participated, and it was a peaceful demonstration. We regret the inconvenience caused to commuters, but such protests are a part of democratic expression."
Public Reaction and Debate
The incident has sparked a debate on social media about the right to protest versus the right to free movement. Many users supported the woman's actions, calling it a courageous stand against political arrogance. Others argued that protests should not disrupt daily life. The BJP has not issued an official apology but has assured that future protests will be better managed to minimize public inconvenience.
