Watch: BJP cadres thrash NCP worker for showing black flags to Pragya Thakur
Thakur is contesting against senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, held a roadshow in Bhopal.
Bhopal: BJP cadres thrashed an NCP worker at the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) office here after he allegedly showed black flags to Pragya Singh Thakur, the BJP Lok Sabha candidate from Bhopal, during her roadshow.
Visuals show the BJP workers raising slogans and slapping the NCP worker, following which he was taken away by the police from the SDM office.
Earlier today, Thakur, who is contesting against senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh, held a roadshow in Bhopal.
She had filed her nomination papers from the seat yesterday.
Thakur is among the seven accused facing trial in the Malegaon blast case, wherein six people were killed and a dozen others were injured when a bomb placed on a motorcycle exploded in Maharashtra's Malegaon on September 29, 2008.
On April 17, Thakur had formally joined the BJP. The move invited criticism from several opposition leaders who have slammed the BJP for fielding a terror accused in the Lok Sabha elections.
Thakur courted controversy when she made remarks in reference to Babri Masjid demolition and late Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare.
Subsequently, the Election Commission (EC) took cognisance and issued notices to Thakur for violating the Model Code of Conduct (MCC).
Polling in Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency will be held on May 12 and counting of votes will take place on May 23.
