In a major reshuffle, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) on Wednesday appointed Isudan Gadhvi, who was its chief ministerial candidate in the recently held Gujarat assembly election, as the president of the party's state unit.

On the other hand, Gopal Italia, the AAP's outgoing Gujarat chief, has been given a national role. Italia has also been made co-incharge for Maharashtra.

“BIG ANNOUNCEMENT !! The party hereby appoints new office bearers. Best wishes to all,” it said on its official Twitter handle.

According to the list, former journalist Gadhvi is AAP's new Gujarat unit chief, while Italia has been made a national joint secretary.

The following appointments were also made: Alpesh Kathiria as working president of the Surat zone, Chaitar Vasava as working president for South Gujarat, Dr Ramesh Patel as working president for North Gujarat, Jagmal Vala as working president of Saurashtra, Jewel Vasra as working president of Central Gujarat, and Kailash Gadhvi as working president of the Kutch zone.

Both Gadhvi and Italia thanked AAP national convenor and Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal for giving them the new responsibilities.

In the Gujarat assembly polls, held on December 1 and 5 last year, the Aam Aadmi Party won 5 seats in the 182-member house. Its top two, however, suffered defeats from Khambhalia (Gadhvi) and Katargam (Italia).
