New Delhi, Oct 22: Speculations are rife that BJP is likely to rope in former Indian Cricket captain MS Dhoni and veteran batsman Gautam Gambhir as candidates from Jharkhand and Delhi respectively, in the upcoming 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

According to a report in The Sunday Gaurdian, BJP is all set to announce the two cricketers as star campaigners and a senior BJP leader reveals that Dhoni is being persuaded to contest from a seat in his home-state Jharkhand.

Dhoni who is also the captain of Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League, enjoys a huge fan base in South India, especially the AIADMK-ruled Tamil Nadu, which the BJP hopes to tap on.

Meanwhile, sources reveal that Gambhir will most likely replace Delhi MP Meenakshi Lekhi. It is said that people from her constituency are not happy with her work and Gambhir who hails from Delhi will have better chances if he contests from the same seat.

Gambhir is famed for his social work and is one of the respectable cricketers. The source adds that Gambhir will be an asset to the party and give BJP the required push in the national capital which is a bastion of Aam Aadmi Party.

However, it is speculated if Dhoni will contest the election as the cricketer who has not yet retired from international cricket has set his focus on the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

    Even Jadeja too might be a probable candidate for BJP. All his body language gives rise his closeness to this party. We wish all of them, good luck. Let they serve the motherland without any bias.

    Why 15 families are favoured. Why Rafael deal, manufacturing unit worth Rs. 30,000 crores was given to Anil Ambani , who is already bankrupt. Why HAL which has a history of manufacturing military air force units, was not given this Rafael manufacturing project. This shows BJP is bankrupt in their policies and always favour with bias attitude.

    Typical Bhakt mindset. No matter whatever the discussion is, conclusion will targeting Minorities.
    Azhar was acquitted from Match Fixing and if you still insist, then am sorry it's contempt of Court order. And as far as Azhar's statistics, nobody speaks ill about Azhar, he was one of the finest Cricketer. Kindly do your homework thoroughly and don't take Dumbit Patra as your role model.

    No surprise at all. Gambhir's love towards BJP in media and Dhoni's hates towards Muslim cricketers made them best choice for BJP. Looking forward to exclusion of Dhoni from Indian cricket.

    #DhoniForPM Vote Dhoni for India PM. Indian cricket captain will lead the glorious Indian nation while Pakistan cricket captain is leading the fallen Pakistan nation.
    India will work on anti vigilantism and Pakistan will work on anti terrorism.

    Dhoni I wasn't sure, but Gambhir I had a very strong feeling since he has been Tweeting and sharing pro BJP views all along. With a liitle bit of Nationalist agenda, and a pinch of Anti-Pakistan tweets, i was sure back then that he was trying to get into Politics. Besides, these characteristics are mandatory to get a Ticket. The next in line will be either Sehwag or Vivek Agnihotri.

    Forget the stats,his name is one of the 12 accused of match fixing in a sealed envelope with the supreme court.
    All cricket matches/IPL are run by Dawood and this MS Dhongi is involved with bookies and fixers like Meiyappan,Vindhu.
    In India people who are involved in big scams only go on to become big in politics.Seems like a required criteria.
    Dhoni is nothing but match fixer.World cup also fixed.

Viz a viz developmental work per working day , social development per working day , social disturbance with a proper record per working day , infrastructure implementation per working day ? Calculate and come with a proper report with a factual reference.
