Isudan Gadhvi is an Indian politician and senior Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader from Gujarat.

[7][8][9] Isudan was born on 10 January 1982 in Pipaliya village near Jamkhambhaliya town in Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat.

At his grandmother's instance, Isudan would recite 2 chapters of Ramayana and Mahabharata to her every day, which helped him memorize both the epics.

For the next five years until 2021, Isudan hosted a popular prime time TV show called Mahamanthan on the state's famous VTV Gujarati.

[19] He focused on issues impacting farmers, unemployment, education, women, traders, labourers and contractual workers.

[22] In the fifteen months since joining AAP, Gadhvi travelled nearly 110,000 km all around Gujarat to address more than 1,200 meetings.

[17] During the pandemic, he would get calls from people asking for his assistance with ICU beds and oxygen cylinders from across urban and rural parts of the state.

[22] He once saw a woman wailing and holding the body of her son outside the hospital who hadn't permitted her entry due to not being brought by a government ambulance, whereas they came through private vehicle.

The Delhi chief minister called Gadhvi's joining the AAP as a "huge sacrifice of a promising career to clean the mess that the ruling party, together with the Congress, had created in Gujarat."

[13][26][27][28] On 4 November 2022, Gadhvi was announced as the Chief minister candidate of the Aam Admi Party in Gujarat Polls.

The decision was based on opinion polls collected by the party through SMS, WhatsApp, voice messages and emails.

[20] At being asked on the top three things that he'd do if he gets elected, Gadhvi replied that the first step would be the debt waiver for the farmers, guarantee of fair prices, uninterrupted power supply, and irrigation facilities.

[30][31] As a result of major reshuffling on 4th January 2023, Isudan succeeded Gopal Italia as the president of Aam Admi Party in Gujarat.

We'll appoint in-charge in 26 Lok Sabha constituencies and focus on seats where we are strong and win majority of municipal corporation elections in 2025.

In the 2022 polls, Congress will be relegated to third place while AAP will emerge as a strong contender to BJP which has ruled the state for over two decades.

"[40][41][42] Gadhvi attacked BJP criticizing its "Jan Aashirwad" campaign, calling it an insult to the memory of those who have died of coronavirus in the first and second waves of the pandemic.

Gadhvi reminded that when the AAP organised Jan Samvedna programme and visited every district and village in Gujarat to collect the data and expose negligence of the state government, the BJP announced their Jan Aashirwad Yatra campaign "with great levels of shamelessness".

Criticizing BJP government's ineffectiveness during coronavirus pandemic, Gadhvi said,"The BJP has been in power in Gujarat for the past two-and-a-half decades… lakhs of people in Gujarat died of Covid owing to lack of oxygen, medicines, hospital beds and policies such as no admission in hospitals without ambulance support.

[43] In September 2021, Isudan Gadhvi at a press contact slammed the demolition of Ramdev Peer temple in Surat city by BJP and demanded apology from Gujarat Chief Minister.

When workers of the Vishwa Hindu Parishad tried to protest, you used police to use force, detain them and intimidate them with threats of arrest.

[47][48][49] AAP leaders Isudan Gadhvi and former AAP leader Indranil Rajguru led the precession from Dwarka and Kailash Gadhvi and Raj Karpada from Abdasa-Kutch; Sagar Rabari, and Bhima Chaudhary from Siddhpur (North Gujarat); and Manoj Sorathia, Ram dhaduk, and Rakesh Hirpara led yatra from Dandi in South Gujarat.

We will also hold a vote to gather public opinion from 1 million people… We will debate and discuss crucial topics such as inflation and corruption with the people.

"[48] According to Isudan, the BJP government had repealed the 3 farm laws only due to their fear of being defeated in upcoming polls.

Gadhvi said that to prevent an upcoming rally by Kejriwal in Vadodara, BJP threatened the owners of 13 venues and forced them to cancel AAP's election programs.

[57][58] In October 2022, Isudan launched the campaign 'Bas, Havey Parivartan Joiyiye' (enough, now we need a change) from Dwarka district to be concluded by 20 November.

[59] Isudan has been booked by police over a tweet about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's radio show, Mann Ki Baat.

In the tweet, Gadhvi claimed that the Indian government had spent INR 8.30 billion on 100 episodes of the show, leading to an FIR being filed against him.
