Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja has joined the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). His wife and BJP MLA from Gujarat, Rivaba Jadeja, shared the news on her social media handle and posted pictures of him as a new member and the duo’s membership cards.
Rivaba joined the BJP in 2019 and was fielded by the party from the Jamnagar assembly seat in 2022. She won the seat by defeating AAP candidate Karshanbhai Karmur.
The Bharatiya Janata Party aims to enroll 2 crore primary members in Gujarat, the home state of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah, a senior leader said on Tuesday.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel and state BJP president CR Paatil renewed their party membership at an event in Ahmedabad as part of the party’s nationwide membership drive.
The Gujarat BJP unit launched an enrollment drive, a day after PM Modi asked BJP members in Delhi to expand the party during the membership program in a way that a maximum number of its women candidates are elected to Lok Sabha and assemblies when 33 per cent reservation for women in legislatures comes into force.
Earlier this year in June, Ravindra Jadeja announced his retirement from T20Is following India’s T20 World Cup 2024 triumph. The ace India all-rounder confirmed it via social media, posting his picture with the World Cup trophy in the dressing room after a 7-run win against South Africa at the Kensington Oval in Barbados.
