RAJASTHAN MP COLLAPSES DURING MEETING WITH AMIT SHAH

JAIPUR: Sanwarlal Jat, a senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and former minister in the National Democratic Alliance government, collapsed on Saturday while attending a meeting of party MLAs and MPs with BJP president Amit Shah. “As he got up to speak, he suddenly collapsed and fainted. He was rushed to SMS Hospital where a team of doctors has been attending to him. He has been shifted to the ICU,” a BJP official said here. Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje and her Cabinet colleagues rushed to the hospital to meet the Ajmer MP. Jat had defeated Congress’ Sachin Pilot in Ajmer in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Jat is currently the president of the Kishan Ayog Rajasthan. Amit Shah, who arrived here on Friday on a three-day visit to the state, is busy holding meetings for strengthening the party at the grassroots level.
