Gautam Gambhir to contest from East Delhi

A month after joining the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the saffron party fielded Gautam Gambhir, the cricketer-turned-politician, from East Delhi seat for the ongoing Lok Sabha elections on Monday.

Ever since he retired from cricket in December 2018, Gautam Gambhir has been very vocal about his support to the ruling party at the Centre, and has often lauded and defended the policies and decisions taken by the BJP.
