Rivaba Jadeja, wife of Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja and the elected MLA from Jamnagar North, has been inducted into the new 26-member Gujarat cabinet, marking a significant development in state politics. The cabinet is set to take oath in Ahmedabad.
This reshuffle follows the resignation of all ministers except Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel, who retained his post. The move is seen as a strategic reset ahead of upcoming local body elections and the 2027 Gujarat assembly polls. On Friday, Patel met Governor Acharya Devvrat at Raj Bhavan to formally request approval for the swearing-in of new cabinet members.
Rivaba Jadeja has been active in local politics and is well-regarded for her work on social welfare, women empowerment, and local development projects. Her inclusion in the cabinet is expected to strengthen the government’s outreach, particularly among youth and women voters.
