INDIA: Rivaba Jadeja, wife of Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja is the new face of the BJP from the Jamnagar North constituency in the upcoming Gujarat Assembly Elections. The saffron party revealed the names of 160 candidates in the first list, where the cricketer’s wife’s name is nominated.
She replaced legislator Dharmendrasinh M Jadeja, who previously won the Jamnagar North seat in the 2017 Gujarat Assembly elections. Interestingly, now Rivaba Jadeja will contest against the Indian National Congress (INC) leader Bipendrasinh Chatursinh Jadeja.
Meanwhile, during a media interaction, the cricketer wife turned politician praised her husband’s support and said, “It was a touching moment when I went to submit a nomination with him by my side. I want to encourage married couples by showing them that their husbands will strongly support them while they pursue their aspirations.”
The empowered lady recalls how her husband Jadeja works like a ‘booster dose’ for her, having been with her in all the ‘thicks and thins’ of her political career.
The new BJP leader went on record saying, “My husband has always encouraged me and is like a booster dose for me. He has inspired me to move forward more so than I have. The very nature of marriage implies that husband and wife should stand together and support one another.”
“Every man’s achievement is supposed to have a woman at its core. In a similar manner, it is crucial to remember that every woman’s husband and brother are responsible for her success,” she added.
Rivaba chased her dreams post her wedding and encouraged every woman to do the same. She even detailed small things that her husband does for her to bring ease into her career.
The lady politician shared one such incident, “Earlier, I was campaigning wearing my shoes with laces. My husband responded to my request for comfy shoes by sending a new pair right to the campaign where I was present. This is only one of the numerous instances that demonstrate how he looks after all of my belongings.”
