AAP national convener Arvind Kejriwal on Friday announced that Isudan Gadhvi will be the party’s chief ministerial face. The decision was taken after 73 per cent votes were received for the 40-year-old former journalist in a crowdsourcing campaign, whereby people of Gujarat were asked to send their choice on who they want as their next Chief Minister, Kejriwal said.
The AAP chief has been aggressively campaigning in the state, and has been anchoring his party’s campaign around a slew of sops, including free electricity, better education, healthcare facilities, among others.
