Gujarat Assembly Election 2022: Lesser-known facts about Ravindra Jadeja’s wife Rivaba, BJP’s Jamnagar candidate

-

Rivaba Jadeja, well recognised as the wife of India’s star all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, has kicked off a new innings of her life in Indian politics. The 31-year-old has been nominated as a candidate by the Bharatiya Janata Party for next month’s Gujarat assembly election. The ruling government replaced its sitting MLA Dharmendrasinh Jadeja aka Hakhuba with Rivaba for the Jamnagar North Constituency. Since joining BJP back in March 2019, Rivaba has participated in many ground-level activities in her area, especially for women.

Meanwhile, a big name in Indian cricket, Ravindra Jadeja, congratulated her wife for earning the ticket and thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah for keeping trust in her competency. The cricketer was spotted several times accompanying Rivaba in election campaigns. On 25 November, he conducted a road show to campaign for his spouse.

Here, we will take a look at some lesser-known facts about Rivaba Jadeja:

  • The only child of businessman Hardev Singh Solanki and Prafullaba Solanki, Rivaba is a Mechanical Engineering graduate from Rajkot’s Atmiya Institute of Technology and Science. Her family has been involved in politics for a long time as her uncle Hari Singh Solanki was a well-known Congress leader.
  • The Jadeja couple got married on 17 April 2016 in a private ceremony in Rajkot in the presence of only relatives and close friends. A year later, they were blessed with a girl child, Nidhyana.
  • Rivaba took part in the 2018 nationwide protest against Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s film Padmavaat featuring Deepika Padukone. With her participation, she caught the attention of the BJP and was appointed as the head of the women’s wing of Karni Sena.
  • In 2018, Rivaba was involved in a controversy after running her car into the bike of a police constable near her house in Jamnagar. She lodged a complaint against the constable saying that he allegedly assaulted her. The constable also accused Raviba of rash driving but failed to provide any evidence.
  • Rivaba is quite popular among locals for actively taking part in social activities and charity work. In August this year, the Prime Minister lauded Rivaba after she contributed to opening 101 Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana accounts through the Shree Matrushakti Charitable Trust, an NGO she co-founded with her husband.

Both COVID-19 vaccine doses needed for good protection against B16172 variant

-
It’s been a concerning few weeks in the UK, with the B16172 variant first taking hold and then spreading to become dominant. This more infectious form of the virus, initially identified in India, is what we’re now going to have to live with – unless it is out-competed by another variant in the future. Worryingly, experts had predicted that B16172 might be able to escape some of the effects of vaccines, which if true would threaten to derail the UK’s plans to finish lifting restrictions from the end of June. However, Public Health England (PHE) has looked at the ability of various variants to evade immunity and says that the UK’s vaccines remain effective against the variants circulating, including B16172. On the surface, this looks like good news. But delve a bit deeper, and things get more complicated, says Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia. PHE’s research found a little drop-off in protection against B16172 among people who were fully vaccinated.

New coronavirus variant emerge in India: How should our COVID response change?

-

After genome sequencing of over 10,000 COVID-19 cases in India, researchers have discovered a new variant with two new mutations which may be better at evading the immune system. In 15-20 percent of samples from the Indian state of Maharashtra (the state accounting for 62 percent of cases in the country) a new, double mutation in key areas of the virus has been detected. These are now known as the E484Q and L452R mutations. What makes the variant different? Both these mutations are concerning because they are located in a key portion of the virus – the spike protein – that it uses to penetrate human cells. Spike proteins attach via a “receptor binding domain”, meaning the virus can attach to receptors in our cells. These new mutations include changes to the spike protein that make it a “better fit” for human cells. This means the virus can gain entry more easily and multiply faster. Given what we have seen with other similar mutations , it might also make it harder for our immu
