A day after Union Minister Amit Shah’s narrow escape after his ‘chariot’ in which he was travelling came in contact with a live wire in Naguar, the Rajasthan government has ordered an inquiry.
“The home department initiated an inquiry to be conducted by the Ajmer divisional commissioner,” PTI reported, citing official sources.
On Tuesday, Shah had addressed three rallies in Kuchaman, Makrana and Nagaur in support of the party candidates for the November 25 elections.
When Shah’s cavalcade was moving to Parbatsar from Bidiyad village to address an election rally, the upper portion of his ‘rath’ (specially designed vehicle) touched the power line which led to a spark and the subsequent snapping of the wire.
No untoward incident occurred and all including the minister were safe. Shah was then moved to a different chariot.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot told reporters in Jaipur that an inquiry into the matter will be conducted.
The state is all set to go to polls on November 25, and counting of votes will be on December 3.
