Bhopal, August 26
BJP MP Pragya Singh Thakur today alleged that the Opposition was using a ‘marak shakti’ (killing power) to harm BJP leaders and that the ‘evil power’ was behind the recent deaths of former Union ministers Arun Jaitley and Sushma Swaraj.
BJP veteran Jaitley died on August 24 and Swaraj on August 6. “While I was contesting (Lok Sabha) elections, a Maharaj ji told me that bad times are upon us and Opposition is up to something using some ‘marak shakti’ against BJP. I later forgot what he said but now when I see our top leaders leaving us one by one, I am forced to think, wasn’t Maharaj ji right?” the BJP MP said.
She was addressing a condolence meeting at the state BJP office to pay tributes to Jaitley and former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Babulal Gaur. The latter died on August 20.
Pragya said she forgot what the Maharaj told her as she was in a crowd and moving. The BJP MP, not a stranger to controversial remarks, refused to talk on this issue when reporters asked about her remarks. She has had to apologise for some of her controversial remarks.
She was issued a show cause notice by the BJP ahead of the elections for calling Mahatma Gandhi’s assassin Nathuram Godse a patriot. Pragya had also claimed that the then Maharashtra ATS chief Hemant Karkare was killed in the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks due to her “curse”. — PTI
