There is discussion that apart from these six seats, new candidates can be brought in by making changes in other five seats Morena, Sidhi, Hoshangabad, jabalpur and Damoh. According to the report of 'Indian Express', the reason behind the ticket of sitting mp from bhopal, pragya thakur, is being speculated that the displeasure of PM narendra modi proved too much for her.

In fact, pragya thakur had called Nathuram Godse, who shot mahatma gandhi, as a patriot. After the outrage caused by this statement, he had apologized, but prime minister narendra modi had said that he would never be able to forgive him. bjp sources said that apart from this, voters' connect with Pragya was less after she was accused in the 2008 Malegaon blast case. For this reason the party refused to give the ticket.

On being denied ticket, mp pragya thakur said that perhaps prime minister Modi did not like some of my words and he had said from the very first that he cannot forgive me. On the reason behind the ticket being cut, pragya thakur said that the party would know why my ticket was cut, but I had not asked for a ticket before and will not ask for it even now.
