A group of Maratha quota agitators on Wednesday tried to block the convoy of BJP`s Beed Lok Sabha candidate Pankaj Munde. The police intervened and dispersed the crowd. The process to register a case against the agitators was underway, a senior police official said, reported PTI.

The incident took place when Munde was on her way to attend a religious event at Kej in Maharashtra`s Beed district. The agitators gave slogans `Ek Maratha, Lakh Maratha`, showed videos of the protest which went viral on social media.

As per PTI report, "They were Maratha quota agitators who tried to stop the convoy of Pankaja Munde. She has enough security. The people were moved out of the way and the convoy was sent further as per the scheduled programme," the police official said. 

Speaking with the media, Munde said, "Earlier the Maratha protestors have shown her black handkerchiefs. But this time the body language of the agitators was different. I have to find out whether they were really Maratha quota protestors," she said.
