In a surprising political twist, Gujarat BJP unveiled a new cabinet list after the mass resignation of ministers, with Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel remaining the only original member. Among the 26 newly appointed ministers, Rivaba Jadeja, wife of cricket star Ravindra Jadeja, has been named to join Gujarat’s cabinet.
Rivaba, a BJP MLA from Jamnagar North, marks a unique crossover between cricket and politics as she steps into a key role in the state government. The reshuffle also included prominent leaders like Swaroopji Thakor, Rushikesh Patel, Kunvarji Bavaliya, and former Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi, who took oath as the Deputy Chief Minister.
This fresh cabinet lineup sets the stage for new political dynamics in Gujarat, combining seasoned politicians and fresh faces from diverse backgrounds – including a star cricketer’s family.
All Eyes on Rivaba
As a public figure and the spouse of one of India’s most recognizable cricketers, Rivaba Jadeja’s cabinet role is bound to attract both scrutiny and support. Her entry into the ministerial ranks may open up new dimensions in Gujarat’s political discourse, as she balances public expectations and her political responsibilities.
