Surat: City-based businessman and philanthropist Mahesh Savani joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) in presence of Delhi deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia on Sunday.
Savani, a diamantaire who later ventured into real estate and is engaged in education too, said that he is not a businessman but someone who believes in doing social work. “Many people told me I can replicate the work I am doing in Surat across Gujarat if I join politics and get a platform,” Savani told reporters.
Savani, 50, said that he does not identify himself as a person of one community. “I am somebody who sits with people from all communities and those from lower strata of the society,” he said.
