Jadeja’s wife Rivaba had joined the BJP last month. Before joining the BJP, Rivaba was the chief of women’s wing of Karni Sena, a Kashtriya community outfit that had protested the release of Hindi movie Padmavaat.
On the work front, Jadeja is currently playing in the Indian Premier League (IPL), and on Monday, he was named in India’s 15-member squad for the ICC World Cup to be played in England in the months of June and July.
