New Delhi: BJP's Lok Sabha MP from Bhopal Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur on Monday accused the media of distorting her comments following her denial of renomination from the seat for the 2024 elections. Thakur refused to entertain any questions from journalists on the issue.

"Whatever we speak, you people show it in a distorted and twisted manner. I don't like such things, neither earlier nor today", PTI quoted Thakur as saying. "From today onwards, I will not speak to the media as you people have been defaming me for the last five years (after she became an MP) to raise your TRP ratings", Pragya added.

The Hindutva activist, Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, engaged with media personnel who visited her residence seeking her response to reports circulating in certain sections of the media. These reports suggested that her denial of a BJP ticket from Bhopal may have been influenced by certain controversial comments she made in the past, which could have potentially displeased Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as per PTI.

Pragya Singh Thakur declined to provide clarification on the reports and directed the media to refer to her video posted on Facebook following the BJP's decision on March 2 not to renominate her from the Lok Sabha seat in the Madhya Pradesh capital.
