Videos of a commuter in Mumbai confronting Bharatiya Janata Party leader Girish Mahajan and police personnel for blocking a road during a protest march were widely shared on social media on Tuesday.
The protest by the ruling Mahayuti coalition led to traffic congestion in the Worli area on Tuesday. The protest was to be held at the Jambori Maidan. The woman reportedly stepped out of her vehicle, and was heard asking Mahajan and the police officers not to block the road and protest at a ground instead.
The woman, whose identity is unclear, said that she had been stuck in the traffic and had to pick up her child. She told a police officer that she had been waiting in traffic for more than an hour.
When Mahajan asked her to calm down, the woman asked him to “get out of here”.
“What is wrong with you?” she asked. “There are hundreds of people waiting. There's an empty ground there.”
She asked the police to clear the traffic.
Get out of here!
