Roshi Sudarshan Bhadain[4] (GCSK) (born April 25, 1971) is a Mauritian politician.

Political career[]

At the 10 December 2014 National Assembly elections Roshi Bhadain was elected as a candidate of Alliance Lepep (MSM-PMSD-ML) in Constituency No. 18 (Belle Rose-Quatre Bornes).[5] He was the Minister of Financial Services, Good Governance and Institutional Reforms[6] under the government of Militant Socialist Movement. On 23 January 2017 he resigned from the MSM-ML government as he disagreed with the undue influence of vested interests on the government led by Pravind Jugnauth, following the unexpected resignation of elected Prime Minister Sir Anerood Jugnauth. Roshi Bhadain became a back-bencher before resigning from Parliament on 16 June 2017 to highlight his opposition against the safety and financial aspects of the Metro Express project.[7][8] His resignation triggered by-elections in Constituency No. 18 but he was not re-elected when by-elections were held on 17 December 2017.[9]

Since 2017 Roshi Bhadain is the leader of the Reform Party (Mauritius),[10] which he founded after leaving Mouvement Socialiste Mauricien (MSM).

Education and Professional career[]

Roshi Bhadain completed his secondary education at Royal College Curepipe before studying law at University of Bristol. He also studied Accountancy before working for KPMG in England. On his return to Mauritius he worked at the Economic Crime Office (ECO) which was restructured into the Independent Commission Against Corruption (Mauritius) (ICAC). He has practised as a Barrister-at-Law in Mauritius and a Fellow Chartered Certified Accountant since 2002 in the areas of fraud, financial crime, corruption and money laundering.[11]
