As the 2025 federal election approaches, Canadians are witnessing a groundswell of new candidates stepping into politics with bold ideas and community-centric visions. In the heart of Brampton’s newly formed federal riding, Chinguacousy Park, a new political voice is rising—one rooted in community service, shaped by immigrant resilience, and driven by a vision of inclusive governance. Dhwani Newspaper had the exclusive opportunity to sit down with Jayeshbhai Bhrambhatt, the People’s Party of Canada (PPC) candidate for this riding, who is preparing to make his mark in the 2025 Canadian federal election.
Jayeshbhai’s story is emblematic of the Canadian immigrant journey. Having migrated from India in 2001, he faced the usual challenges new immigrants encounter—navigating a foreign system, building a livelihood, and creating a sense of belonging in a new country. “It wasn’t easy,” he shares. “You start from scratch. But those experiences shaped my understanding of what so many in our community go through.”
From Entrepreneurship to Real Estate Jayeshbhai’s professional journey began with entrepreneurial ventures, eventually leading him to the real estate sector in 2005. “Real estate gave me the opportunity to connect with people from all walks of life,” he said. “It taught me about their aspirations, struggles, and dreams.”
Simultaneously, his deep ties with the Indo-Canadian Gujarati community began to grow. Over the years, he took on leadership roles in numerous cultural and social organizations, including the Brahmbhatt Samaj of Canada, the Indian Family Association of Canada, and the Karaoke Club of Canada. His efforts have earned him a reputation as a dedicated community champion and a tireless volunteer.
Political Roots and a New Beginning Jayeshbhai isn’t a newcomer to politics. He previously served as a director for the Federal Conservative Party in Brampton North and as Secretary for the Progressive Conservative (PC) Party in Brampton East between 2018 and 2021. He also actively supported several federal and provincial election campaigns.
So why make the shift to the People’s Party of Canada?
“PPC’s core values resonated deeply with me,” Jayeshbhai explained. “Fairness, respect, freedom, and responsibility—these four pillars align closely with what I’ve always believed in.” He added that the party’s willingness to welcome candidates from all cultures, religions, and walks of life was a refreshing departure from what he called the “bias in candidate selection” that exists in other parties. “PPC gives an equal platform to everyone. That’s powerful.”
Representing the Underrepresented Jayeshbhai is proud to be one of the very few Indo-Canadian candidates running in the 2025 federal election. “There’s a real lack of Indo-Canadian representation at all levels of government,” he said. “I want to be a voice not just for one community, but for everyone who calls Canada home.”
His campaign is rooted in addressing key issues that impact Canadians daily:
- Education: Improve the public education system and make post-secondary education more affordable and accessible.
- Housing: Make home ownership a realistic goal again by supporting policies that increase affordability.
- Interest Rates: Cap interest rates to protect families from financial instability.
- Auto Insurance: Introduce reforms to bring down skyrocketing insurance premiums.
- Crime & Bail Reform: Push for tougher laws to tackle extortion, robberies, and home invasions, issues that have impacted many small business owners in the region.
- Healthcare: Advocate for a new hospital in Chinguacousy Park and call out broken promises such as the unfulfilled plan for a medical university.
- Support for Seniors: Fight for better pensions and benefits, highlighting how some seniors are receiving less than recent refugees—“an injustice that needs correcting,” he said.
Why PPC? When asked about the perception that the PPC caters primarily to certain demographics, Jayeshbhai was quick to clarify. “No, PPC isn’t about representing one group. It’s about qualifications, dedication, and community presence. Maxime Bernier believes in diversity and inclusion, and that’s evident in the kind of candidates we have.”
He emphasized that the PPC is poised to gain official party status this election cycle if they secure at least 12 seats. “That would be a game-changer. Our slogan is ‘Canada First, Canadian First.’ We believe funds should be used to help Canadians, not to fund wars abroad. It’s time to bring Canada back on track.”
On International Trade and Trump’s Tariff Threats Jayeshbhai also commented on Maxime Bernier’s stance regarding recent tariff threats from former U.S. President Donald Trump. “For too long, successive Liberal and Conservative governments have failed to make Canada self-reliant,” he said. “Maxime believes in diplomatic solutions, not retaliatory tariffs that hurt Canadian consumers and businesses. We must have fair dialogue while working to build internal economic strength.”
A Vision for Chinguacousy Park As the newly formed Chinguacousy Park riding faces its first federal election, Jayeshbhai believes the area needs strong, localized leadership. “Crime is a major concern here,” he said. “Healthcare access is dismal, and inflation is hurting everyone. We need a local voice who understands these issues and will fight to fix them.”
If elected, his immediate priorities would include:
- Introducing tougher crime laws and bail reform.
- Reducing personal taxes to ease the financial burden on families.
- Tackling inflation.
- Ensuring Canadian funds are invested back into Canadian infrastructure and communities.
A Fighter Regardless of the Outcome When asked what he would do if he didn’t win the election, Jayeshbhai didn’t hesitate. “I will continue with PPC and keep working for the community. Winning or losing doesn’t change my commitment. I will fight for local issues, support small businesses, and serve people with good faith.”
Message to Voters Jayeshbhai’s final message was heartfelt and powerful: “Don’t vote blindly. Check the background and credibility of your candidates. Vote for those who have served the community and truly understand your concerns. I believe in diverse cultures, and I want to be the voice of this riding in Ottawa.”
He added, “We often complain about lack of representation, but now is our time. Let’s forget our internal divisions and unite as one Indo-Canadian community. There’s flexibility in our voting system—use it. Don’t miss this opportunity. This is your time, your turn.”
Jayeshbhai concluded with a note of gratitude: “As an immigrant myself, I understand the struggles newcomers face. I’ve lived it. That’s why I believe I’m the most suitable candidate to represent this area. I ask the community—think before you vote, and vote for who truly deserves your support.”
At the end Jayeshbhai Bhrambhatt also extends his heartfelt gratitude to Dhwani Newspaper and Chief Editor Hitesh Jagad for conducting this thoughtful and engaging interview. He appreciates the platform provided to share his vision and connect with the broader community.
