Former Indian cricket player Kedar Jadhav has made a big change in his career by joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). This happened in a special event in Mumbai on April 8, 2025. Many important people attended, including Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis and state BJP chief Chandrashekhar Bawankule. Kedar’s joining the BJP is important because it helps the party grow as they’re trying to add 1.5 crore new members in Maharashtra.
Kedar Jadhav played for India in 73 One Day Internationals and scored 1,389 runs since he started playing internationally in 2014. He’s played for different teams in the Indian Premier League (IPL) too. Because of his cricket experience, Kedar is well-known and liked, especially by young people who love sports. This can help the BJP attract more supporters.
At the ceremony, Kedar shared his respect for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and praised the BJP’s focus on development. By joining the party, he wants to help serve the public and use his fame as a sports star to make a difference. BJP leaders are happy to have him, as they believe he can help the party connect with more people.
Kedar’s entry into politics comes at a good time for the BJP, which is looking to expand its reach in Maharashtra. His background in sports can help the party create better policies related to sports and attract a wider range of supporters. People seem to like his decision to enter politics, which is good news for both Kedar and the BJP.
In the future, Kedar is expected to do more than just be a member. He may help with the BJP’s projects and help make important decisions. His move from cricket to politics is a big change for Maharashtra and might inspire other famous people to consider similar paths.
The BJP’s choice to include Kedar shows they want different ideas and experiences in their team as they prepare for upcoming elections.
