Bharatiya Janata Party leader and Lok Sabha candidate for Amritsar Arun Jaitley on Tuesday met with a minor accident while canvassing in his constituency.
Jaitley, who was busy with his roadshow, was caught in the middle of a fire that broke out in front of his cavalcade. The outbreak of fire has been blamed on crackers being bursted.
