Doctors treating Gore said he had suffered only a slight bruise in the chest, and his blood pressure and pulse were normal.
Speaking on the incident, NCP chief Sharad Pawar said, "Late night travel should be avoided. But I myself do not follow the same. People at my home always talk about night travelling, but in politics one cannot avoid meeting people. I will advise utmost care while travelling."
Pawar was speaking during a visit to the 14th edition of the 'Bhimthadi Jatra', a rural event aimed at empowering women, in Pune.
