Naynaba Jadeja, sister of cricketer Ravindra Jadeja, has been defeated in Rajkot Ward No. 2 in the Gujarat local body polls 2026. She was contesting as a Congress candidate. The result comes as civic election outcomes are being declared across the state, with several key contests drawing attention.
Gujarat: Cricketer Ravindra Jadeja's sister, Naynaba, a Congress candidate contesting from Rajkot Ward No. 2, has been defeated in the 2026 Gujarat local body polls. The polling was held on Sunday for elections to 15 municipal corporations, 84 municipalities, 34 district panchayats and 260 taluka panchayats.
The results from Rajkot come as a strong blow to the Congress, as the party had hoped that the influence of the Jadeja family would make it easier to win the seat. However, notably, Ravindra Jadeja's wife, Rivaba, is a BJP MLA, and the elections witnessed a face-off between the two. During the campaigning, though Rivaba sent her best wishes to her sister-in-law, her support for her party did not go down as she had expressed belief that the BJP would win.
Naynaba's Statement after Defeat
While speaking to reporters, she accepted the public's decision, and she said that's what matters. However, she added that Congress still needs to work harder at the ground level and strengthen its organisation.
