Arun Gawli

Arun Gulab Ahir alias Arun Gawli, known to his followers as "Daddy", is a politician in Mumbai, India. He is based at Dagdi Chawl in Byculla- Saat Rasta, Mumbai. In 2004, he was elected as a MLA from the Mumbai Chinchpokli Constituency as an Akhil Bharatiya Sena candidate.

Gawli's rise in prominence is believed to be due to his "native roots" as a local lad, which makes him distinct from most other non-Marathi-speaking politicians. He is Hindu (his wife, Ashatai known as "Mummy" was a Muslim).
