Madhya Pradesh: Pragya Thakur leads in Bhopal; Congress' Digvijay Singh trails
BJP candidate Pragya Singh Thakur is ahead in the race from the high-profile seat of Bhopal, while the 'Raja of Rahogarh', Digvijaya Singh, is trailing behind. Bhopal Lok Sabha constituency went to polls in the penultimate phase 6 on May 12. The Lok Sabha constituency comprises eight Assembly seats, five of which were won by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the last Assembly elections. Hoping to win the seat, the Congress party had fielded former two times chief minister of Madhya Pradesh and senior Congress leader, Digvijaya Singh, from Bhopal. But the BJP's decision to give the ticket to Sadhvi Pragya, an accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case, changed the whole political equation for the Congress.
