Days after Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur filed her nomination papers for Bhopal, another 2008 Malegaon blast accused, Major (retired) Ramesh Chandra Upadhyay, filed his nomination papers from Ballia Lok Sabha seat on Friday.
Ramesh Chandra is contesting on Akhil Bharat Hindu Mahasabha’s ticket.
Earlier, Malegaon Blast accused, BJP candidate from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, had said that Hemant Karkare was killed because she cursed him, and Ramesh Chandra has said that the ATS chief was killed (not martyred) by terrorists due to his own inefficiency.

Talking to reporters after filing nomination, Upadhyay said that the term Hindu atankwad (terrorism) was coined by Congress and NCP, and its hollowness could be understood from people’s support to Sadhvi Pragya in Bhopal.
When asked about the objection raised by retired policemen over Sadhvi’s remarks on Karkare, he said “what Sadhvi is saying today was already told to the court during hearing, and it is in the record of the court. Those who have come in favour of Karkare do not know about the torture given to us.”
Upadhyay had been charged for his involvement in the 2008 Malegaon blasts by the Maharashtra ATS.
