A video clip of the incident shows Mr Patel holding the tricolour while surrounded by a group of people when suddenly a galloping cow crashes into the gathering knocking Mr Patel to the ground. A group of people holding Indian flags then rush to help the former minister.</p>
<p>
&quot;A Tiranga Yatra had been organised at Kadi where nearly 2,000 people participated. It had completed almost 70 per cent of the distance and reached a vegetable market when a cow suddenly came running,&quot; Mr Patel said.</p>
<p>
In the commotion, he and a few others were thrown down to the ground, he added.</p>
<p>
Mr Patel was taken to a private hospital where an X-ray and CT scan showed that he had a minor fracture in his left leg, the BJP leader informed the media.</p>
<p>
&quot;The doctors fixed a temporary splint to stabilize the leg and advised me to rest for 20-25 days,&quot; he said.</p>
