Early life and background

Her parents are Hardev Singh Solanki, a businessman, and Prafullaba Solanki, who worked with Indian Railways. She has a brother named Shatu.

Career

Rivaba moved from social work into politics over the course of the late 2010s. Before formally joining a political party she was active as a social worker in Gujarat and advocated for women’s issues. In 2018 she was appointed chief of the women’s wing of Karni Sena, a regional organization, and took part in public demonstrations that year.

She became associated with the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2018 and, four years later, contested electoral politics.

Her political activity has included grassroots campaigning and public appearances in Gujarat.

The family’s philanthropic work received national notice in 2022 when they opened 101 Sukanya Samriddhi bank accounts for underprivileged girl children; the gesture drew appreciation at high levels of government.

Over the years Rivaba has been part of controversies reported in the public record. In 2018 an incident in Jamnagar involving her and a police constable drew media coverage; both sides offered differing accounts to authorities. In later years, familial disputes became a subject of press reports and public statements made by relatives and by her husband on social media.
