In the application filed by the victim’s father, he has questioned Sadhvi Pragya’s candidature before the NIA court as she was given bail on health grounds. Sadhvi Pragya faces charges in the Malegaon blast case although charges under MCOCA have been dropped by NIA.

Sadhvi Pragya was on Wednesday named the BJP’s candidate from Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency against Congress leader Digvijaya Singh. 

She will file her nomination from the seat on April 23. “Since the BJP declared me as its candidate, I have started the poll campaign,” she told the reporters.
