For the first time, Gujarati-origin candidates are contesting Canada’s federal election. Four Gujaratis—Jayesh Brahmbhatt, Sunjiv Raval, Ashok Patel, and Minesh Patel—are running for seats in Brampton and Calgary. Punjabis have long dominated Canadian politics, but Gujaratis are now stepping in. They have built strong community ties and businesses over the years. Experts say this is a big step in increasing Indian representation. Punjabis like Jagmeet Singh and Anita Anand remain key figures. Canada’s election is on April 28, and Indian-origin candidates are expected to play a major role in shaping the country’s future. (PC: Reuters)
