Madhusudan Mistry is a Congress leader from Gujarat. Though he is originally an RSS man, today he has got the eyes and ears of Rahul Gandhi.
He was an acolyte of Shankarsinh Vaghela when he was in BJP and had RSS leanings. He left BJP in 1995 when Vaghela revolted and formed his own Rashtriya Janata Party (RJP). Mistry joined RJP that merged with Congress later on. With the merger of RJP with Congress, Madhusudan Mistry became a Congressman and then his metamorphosis began.
Mistry first entered Lok Sabha in 2001 when he contested 2001 by-election to Sabarkantha Lok Sabha seat and defeated BJP candidate Upendra Trivedi by over 20,000 votes. Madhusudan once again won the seat in 2004 Lok Sabha elections. In 2009, he lost the seat to the BJP candidate.
