I am trying to plot this data; I tried many libraries/ways to plot it.

But every time I receive an error saying:

ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded")

Is there any way to plot geojson data? I have used D3/Leaflet before. I succeeded to plot this file.

You say you have plotted the data to D3/leaflet successfully. So what other type of format are you trying to "plot" the points to? A graphics file? A desktop GIS? Another GIS file format (ie- shapefile)? –  RyanDalton Mar 20 at 16:01
    
I wanna plot the file on desktop application using Python . –  user3378649 Mar 21 at 2:09

You might give the Kartograph.py library a try. –  RyanDalton Mar 21 at 14:55

If you just want to plot the data in a desktop GIS software like QGIS, you need to make the data a "Feature Collection" as stated here:

Features in GeoJSON contain a geometry object and additional properties, and a feature collection represents a list of features.

Once I wrapped your GeoJSON code (above) with:

{"type":"FeatureCollection",
"features":

   <place your data as seen above here>

}

I had no problem loading the data into QGIS (tested).

Ryan's right. Your data wasn't valid. –  sgillies Mar 22 at 20:38

Welcome to GIS Stack Exchange!

You should try Shapely:

From the doc, Shapely can plot geoJson objects:

    import json
    from shapely.geometry import mapping, shape

    s = shape(json.loads('{"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}'))
    >>> s
    <shapely.geometry.point.Point object at 0x...>

    print(json.dumps(mapping(s)))
    {"type": "Point", "coordinates": [0.0, 0.0]}

But the result is not a map ?? –  user3378649 Mar 20 at 13:23
