“It is wrong for Dr Sanjaya Sinh not to show me as his wife, for which I have filed an objection,” Garima Singh told reporters.
Garima Singh said that her husband divorced from her by faking her signatures and the same was struck down by court.

In the 2017 Assembly elections, Garima Singh (BJP) and Ameeta Sinh (Congress), Sanjaya Sinh’s second wife, were face to face in Amethi and while Garima had won the polls, Ameeta Sinh had ranked fourth in the race.
Later, Sanjaya Sinh, resigned from the membership of Congress and Rajya Sabha in July 2019 and joined the BJP.
Asked whether she will campaign for her estranged husband, Garima Singh said she has not yet taken any decision in this regard but will follow directions of the party in this regard.
