As soon as the date of election in Gujarat was announced, all the political parties started the process of selection of candidates. Among these, the Jamnagar North seat is the center on which all eyes are on the state.
There is going to be a political fight between the family of Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja at this centre. On one hand there are indications that his wife Rivaba Jadeja may contest for BJP. On the other hand, his sister Naina Jadeja may contest for Congress. As a result, now naturally the attention of political parties and people is towards this centre.
Rivaba joined BJP before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. After that his sister Naina joined the Congress. Jadeja’s sister Naina is very famous in Jamnagar. She is District Mahila Congress President and very active leader. Dharmendra Singh Jadeja is currently the BJP MLA from Jamnagar North.
However, in this election, speculations have started to give ticket to Ribaba from the BJP side. Because the credibility of Dharmendra Singh Jadeja has been questioned. In such a situation, there is a strong possibility that he will not be given a ticket again. Now Rivaba is ahead in the race of BJP candidate in this centre. Because apart from being the wife of a celebrity, she also has a reputation as a female leader.
According to BJP sources, Rivaba’s activity shows that she wants to contest elections. Rivaba is a resident of Rajkot. Her father is a big industrialist. He is involved in many social activities. Meanwhile, Congress is also eyeing the BJP’s electoral strategy.
Political circles believe that Congress may field Naina against her if BJP makes Rivaba its candidate. Naina also has a good reputation. She is the owner of a hotel. If this happens then Jamnagar North seat will be the most interesting election contest. Whom will Jadeja support now? sister or wife?
