The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) has called for a Maharashtra bandh on August 24 to protest a sexual assault case in Badlapur. The incident involved two young girls allegedly abused by a school attendant. MVA allies, including Congress, Uddhav Thackeray’s Shiv Sena (UBT), and NCP, will participate. The decision follows protests over delayed police action and rising crimes against women. Congress leaders recently demonstrated outside Mantralaya, criticizing the BJP-led government for its handling of the case and overall women's safety issues.
