  • Ravindra Jadeja Slams Father’s Allegation, Says He Is Attempting To Spoil Wife’s Image | cricket news

    India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja strongly refuted the accusations made by his father, Anirudhsinh Jadeja, in a recent interview with a Gujarati newspaper. Describing the interview as “staged” and “baseless,” Ravindra asserted that it was an endeavor to “defame” his wife, Rivaba. “Let’s disregard the content of orchestrated interviews,” Jadeja captioned a graphic on his X (formerly known as Twitter) account, featuring a message in Gujarati.

    “All the things said in the nonsense interview are meaningless and untrue. It is a one-sided story and I completely deny the allegations. The attempts made to tarnish the image of my wife are truly reprehensible and unbecoming. I, too, have a a lot to say but won’t do it publicly,” Ravindra, who completed 15 years in international cricket on Friday, said.

    Speaking to Divya Bhaskar, Anirudhsinh shared that he leads a modest life, away from the limelight surrounding his son. Despite residing in Jamnagar, where his son Ravindra owns a farmhouse, Anirudhsinh mentioned that he prefers to live in a 2BHK apartment.

    “I have some land in my village. I manage my expenses from the ₹20,000 pension of my wife. I live alone in a 2BHK flat. I have a house-help who cooks for me. I am living my life on my own terms Even in my 2BHK flat, there is still a separate room for Ravindra.”

    The elder Jadeja also alleged that the Indian cricketer fails to maintain harmonious relations with him and his sister. “I don’t reach out to Ravindra, and I don’t feel the need to. He is not my father; I am his father. It’s his responsibility to initiate contact with me. All of this brings tears to my eyes. Even his sister sheds tears on Rakshabandhan,” he remarked.

    “We have worked very hard to make Ravindra a cricketer. I used to carry 20-litre milk cans on my shoulder to earn money. I have even worked as a watchman. We come from a humble background. His sister has done even more than me. She took care of him as a mother. However, he hasn’t kept any relations with his sister either.”

    Anirudhsinh accused Ravindra’s wife Rivaba of creating differences in the family. “Right after their marriage, there was a dispute regarding the ownership of Ravindra’s restaurant. She (Rivaba) told him to transfer the ownership of the restaurant to her name. They even had a major fight because of that. His sister thought that he would manage things from now on, and agreed to sign.” he said.

  • Gujarat polls: Battle of Jadejas features cricketer brother, sister bat for different parties

    By PTI

    JAMNAGAR: Hours before cricketer Ravindra Jadeja travelled through the city’s market in an open SUV as part of a BJP roadshow, his sister Naynaba Jadeja sought votes for the Congress, reminding voters of price rise under the ruling party and its “unfulfilled” employment promises.

    While the famous cricketer campaigned for his wife Rivaba Jadeja, his elder sister canvassed for Bipendrasinh Jadeja, highlighting the “sibling rivalry” that has added another layer of interest in the poll after the BJP dropped its sitting MLA Dharmendrasinh Jadeja, locally better known as Hakubha.

    A contender for the Congress ticket from the Jamnagar North seat, Naynaba has emerged as a key campaigner for her party after the BJP chose her famous brother’s wife as its candidate.

    She is often the focus of media queries while the Congress candidate, a seasoned organisation man and businessman, plays a supporting role.

    “I have my ideology and have been with a party I admire,” she says, slamming the BJP over the issue of price rise and claiming that it only makes promises to people but never fulfils them, be it on employment or education.

    An overwhelmingly urban constituency, Jamnagar North may be seen as more favourable to the BJP than the Congress even though the opposition party’s supporters believe their party can spring a surprise.

    Naynaba argues that since the constituency voted for the first time in 2012 after being carved out following delimitation, it is essentially a Congress seat as it won for the first time while the BJP grabbed it in 2017 after the incumbent MLA crossed over to the saffron camp.

    Even the winning BJP candidate was a Congressman who won on his appeal, and our party will score this time, she claims.

    Congress leaders also hope to benefit from any faultlines within the BJP caused by its denial of the ticket to the sitting MLA.

    The AAP has fielded Karsan Karmur, who had quit the BJP to join it last year.

    The state will have two-phase Assembly polls on December 1 and 5, while the votes will be counted on December 8.

    It is witnessing a three-cornered fight with the BJP, Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in the fray.

    Hakubha, an influential person, has now been dropped in favour of Riviba Jadeja but the BJP has managed to placate him by making him the party’s in-charge for polling in three assembly seats, including Jamnagar North.

    Rajputs, the community the two main candidates hail from, and Muslims are among the largest voting blocs here.

    Campaigning for Rivaba, BJP workers express confidence in her win and claim the curiosity is more about the margin.

    They also dismiss the Congress’ “outsider” charge against her, arguing that she had been working in the region after joining the BJP in 2019, months after she and her husband Ravindra Jadeja met Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    A degree holder in mechanical engineering, she was born and raised in Rajkot while her husband is from Jamnagar. Before joining the BJP, she was in Karni Sena, a Rajput group accused in the past of vandalism and violence in the promotion of its causes.

    She joined Karni Sena and later the BJP in the spirit of doing something good for the society and country, she has often said in her public interactions and cites Modi as her inspiration for entering politics.

    Rivaba replaces sitting MLA Dharmendrasinh Jadeja as the BJP face for the Jamnagar (North) seat, who was denied a party ticket in this election, according to sources.

    Earlier on Sunday, the BJP announced one more candidate for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly election. So far the party has released the names of 167 candidates for the Gujarat polls. The party fielded Jagdishbhai Makwana from the Wadhwan Assembly constituency.

    Earlier on Saturday, BJP released the second list of six candidates. In the second list of six candidates, BJP has given tickets to two women. It has fielded Mahendrabhai Padaliya from Dhoraji, Mulubhai Bera from Khambhalia, Dheliben Maldebhai Odedara from Kutiyana, Sejal Rajiv Kumar Pandya from Bhavnagar East, Hitesh Devji Vasava from Dediapada (ST) and Sandeep Desai from Choryasi.

    On Thursday, the BJP announced the first list of candidates for 160 candidates out of the 182 constituencies for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections.

    The first list of 160 candidates includes 14 females, 13 from scheduled caste, 24 from the scheduled tribe and there are 69 candidates who have been repeated. The Assembly elections in Gujarat are scheduled for two phases on December 1 and December 5. In the first round, 89 of the total 182 Assembly seats will go to polls and prominent political parties have declared their candidates for almost all these constituencies.

    The BJP has drawn up a list of star campaigners for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections. Topping the list is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The other prominent names on the list include BJP national president JP Nadda, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari and fellow Cabinet colleagues Smriti Irani, Dharmendra Pradhan, Mansukh Mandaviya and Purushottam Rupala.

    Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who is seeking a fresh mandate from the Ghatlodia Assembly segment, also features in the star campaigners list along with BJP state president CR Patil and state Home Minister Harsh Sanghvi.

    The ruling party seeks its seventh straight term in power in the ensuing state polls. The state has been a BJP stronghold for a long and the party has set its sights on returning to power with a handsome majority this time as well. However, it faces a stiff electoral challenge from the Arvind Kejriwal-led Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), which has named Isudan Gadhvi as its chief ministerial candidate.

    The Congress is also hoping to put its best electoral foot forward to unseat the BJP government. The BJP has been in power in Gujarat for the last 27 years and it is considered a BJP bastion. READ | Gujarat assembly polls: Bridge tragedy effect? Candidates skip Morbi campaigning
