Aam Aadmi Party’s (AAP) chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Gujarat Assembly elections, Isudan Gadhvi, will contest from the Khambhalia constituency.
The AAP’s supremo, Arvind Kejriwal, took to Twitter to make the announcement and stated, “Isudan Gadhvi, who raised his voice for years for farmers, unemployed youth, women, businessmen, will contest from Jam Khambhalia! Gujarat will get a new and good chief minister from the holy land of Lord Krishna.”
Gadhvi, a former TV journalist, was named the party’s CM candidate on November 4 based on the result of a poll conducted by the AAP. The party’s Gujarat unit president Gopal Italia and general secretary Majoj Sorathiya were also in the race.
He hails from an agricultural family from Dwarka district, had received around 73 per cent votes (in the poll for the CM face), leaving Gopal Italia and Manoj Sorathiya behind in the race. With this, the AAP has so far announced the names of 175 candidates for the 182-member Gujarat Assembly.
