I read a sentence below.
"The kid plays a joke on me "
"I have pity on her."
In this line , "on" is used as the role of preposition "for" , object.
Moreover I googled that expression like here.

If you blame a person or thing ( for or on) something bad,
I repeat that you cannot use "on" with "bllame" in that sentence.

You don't blame a person on something bad -- but you do blame something bad on a person.

Don 't blame it on me! It's not my fault!

Don't blame me for that! I didn't do it!
