He was born in Pipliya in Devbhoomi Dwarka district of Gujarat. Afte studying journalism he joined Doordarshan and started doing a show there. In 2015, Isudan moved to Ahmedabad and became the editor of a leading Gujarati channel. Isudan was only 32 years old when he became the editor of this channel,. Isudan started a show named &#8216;Mahamanthan&#8217;. In which he was in the role of anchor. In this show, Isudan started focusing on issues related to common people and farmers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Shot to fame by Mahamanthan<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The content of the Mahamanthan show and Isudan&#8217;s desi impeccable style gained him popularity. He became quite popular for raising farmers&#8217; issues. Coming from a farmer family, Isudan had an understanding of the issues, he used it in his journalism. Due to this the Mahamanthan show became extremely popular. People in Gujarat started waiting for this show. Isudan worked as a journalist in Vapi, Porbandar, Jamnagar, Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Joined AAP 16 months ago<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, when the Aam Aadmi Party expanded in Gujarat, Isudan Gadhvi left journalism and joined politics. Isudan Gadhvi resigned in early June 2021, saying he would leave journalism and work for the public. After this the speculation of him coming into politics started. Isudan Gadhvi gave an affirmative response to the speculations by going live on Facebook, but did not say whether he would join any party or not. When Arvind Kejriwal reached Gujarat in the month of June, Isudan joined the Aam Aadmi Party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First CM candidate of any party from Gadhvi community<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The people of Gadhvi community are mainly associated with agriculture and animal husbandry. But there is another identity of the Gadhvi society, the people of this community are very active in singing. There are still many singers of Gadhvi community in Gujarat who perform at Kavi Sammelan. Kirtidan Gadhvi is a famous singer from Gujarat. But political participation of Gadhvi society has been very less. Pushdan Gadvi and VK Gadvi have become ministers, MLAs and MPs from BJP in the past, but this is the first time that a person from Gadhvi community has been declared as the chief ministerial face by any party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"hi\" dir=\"ltr\">\u092e\u0941\u091d \u092a\u0930 \u0935\u093f\u0936\u094d\u0935\u093e\u0938 \u0930\u0916 \u092e\u0947\u0930\u0947 \u091c\u0948\u0938\u0947 \u0906\u092e \u0906\u0926\u092e\u0940 \u0915\u094b \u0907\u0924\u0928\u0940 \u092c\u0921\u093c\u0940 \u091c\u093f\u092e\u094d\u092e\u0947\u0926\u093e\u0930\u0940 \u0938\u094b\u092a\u0928\u0947 \u0915\u0947 \u0932\u093f\u090f \u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0906\u092e \u0906\u0926\u092e\u0940 \u092a\u093e\u0930\u094d\u091f\u0940, \u0905\u0930\u0935\u093f\u0928\u094d\u0926 \u0915\u0947\u091c\u0930\u0940\u0935\u093e\u0932 \u091c\u0940 \u0914\u0930 \u0916\u093e\u0938 \u0915\u0930 \u0917\u0941\u091c\u0930\u093e\u0924 \u0915\u0940 \u091c\u0928\u0924\u093e \u0915\u094b \u0926\u093f\u0932 \u0938\u0947 \u0927\u0928\u094d\u092f\u0935\u093e\u0926 \u0915\u0939\u0928\u093e \u091a\u093e\u0939\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0941\u0964<br><br>\u092e\u0947\u0902 \u0935\u091a\u0928 \u0926\u0947\u0924\u093e \u0939\u0942 \u0915\u0940 \u091c\u0928\u0924\u093e \u0915\u093e \u0938\u0947\u0935\u0915 \u092c\u0928 \u0938\u0926\u0948\u0935 \u0932\u094b\u0915\u0939\u093f\u0924 \u0915\u0947 \u0915\u093e\u092e \u0915\u0930\u0942\u0902\u0917\u093e\u0964<\/p>&mdash; Isudan Gadhvi (@isudan_gadhvi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/isudan_gadhvi\/status\/1588457131686387712?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 4, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Forty-year-old Isudan Gadhvi comes from the OBC category.
