Jadeja also met the Home Minister, Amit Shah, today on the sidelines of the assembly elections, Jadeja took to Twitter to tweet about the meeting by posting pictures with him, "pleasure meeting you sir."
Ravindra Jadeja's sister is also contesting the Gujarat Assembly Polls but on Congress ticket
Rivaba Jadeja, the BJP candidate from the Jamnagar constituency, and wife of Indian cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, on Saturday refuted all claims of existing feud in the family and said that the two just believe in different ideologies.
Among the many popular candidates for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections, is Rivaba Jadeja. Incidentally, two names from the Jadeja family are facing each other in the elections, as Ravindra Jadeja's sister Naina Jadeja is campaigning for the Congress candidate from the same Jamnagar seat.
While exclusively talking to ANI, she was asked about the claims of feud within the family, to which Rivaba said that this is not the first time when two people from the same family have different ideologies.
"Even on our hands, all fingers are not equal in size, similarly ideologies too can be different. My sister-in-law is influenced by some other ideology and is working for it, in the same way, I am influenced by BJP and am fulfilling my duties. There is only a difference of opinion and no personal differences between the two of us. During this peak election time, we obviously don't get the time to sit together," she said.
She also said that currently, her focus is only on reaching out to as many people as possible.
On being asked about the possibility of a tripolar election in Gujarat and Aam Aadmi Party's chances in Gujarat, Rivaba refuted any such possibility.
