Athawale Slams BJP For Pragya Thakur’s Ticket, Says ATS Had Proof

Union Minister Ramdas Athawale slammed the BJP over its decision to field terror-accused Pragya Thakur from Bhopal.

Union Minister and RPI (A) chief Ramdas Athawale on Sunday, 28 April, said that he disagreed with BJP Bhopal Lok Sabha candidate Pragya Singh Thakur's comments on former Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad chief Hemant Karkare.

He also slammed the ruling dispensation for its decision to field the Malegaon blast accused from Bhopal, adding that his party would never have given her a ticket.

“Her name had figured in the Malegaon case and Karkare had enough evidence against her,” the Union minister said, as per a report in The Indian Express.
