Meanwhile, the BSP supremo Mayawati hit out at the Election Commission of India (ECI) for not cancelling Bhopal Malegaon blast accused and BJP candidate Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur’s nomination over her remarks on Babri Masjid.
भोपाल से बीजेपी प्रत्याशी व मालेगांव ब्लास्ट आरोपी साध्वी प्रज्ञा का दावा है कि वे ’धर्मयुद्ध’ लड़ रही हैं। यही है बीजेपी/आरएसएस का असली चेहरा जो लगातार बेनकाब हो रहा है। लेकिन आयोग केवल नोटिसें ही क्यों जारी कर रहा है व बीजेपी रत्न प्रज्ञा का नामांकन क्यों नहीं रद्द कर रहा है?

Mayawati’s response comes after Thakur on Sunday said that she is ‘proud’ to accept that she was involved in the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
Bhopal District Election Officer on Sunday had issued a notice to Thakur and sought explanation within a day for her remark on the demolition of Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.
Polls in Bhopal will be held on May 12, and in Delhi on May 12. Counting of votes will take place on May 23.
