don't think there is anyone who is close to being Gandhi... But in my opinion these people are closest
1. Nanaji Deshmukh- For his exemplary work in villages and his selfless service. Also he has maintained a moral authority over his supporters. So even he might be in opposite camp he appears close.
2. Baba Amte - Perhaps the closest. In views and in action.
3. Bala Saahab Thakre - Perhaps the most convroversial, perhaps most anti Gandhi person. But he is one of the few politicos who speaks his heart. And that in my view was one of the rare abilities that he has in common to Gandhi. No matter what the consequence this man has spoken his heart. Similar to Gandhi. Though his actions and his philosphy are entirely different and I do not subscribe to them.
Internationally1. Nelson Mandela - for his work against aprtheid in SA. And his ability to bring everyone together after that.
2. Martin Luther King - Again for rasing voice of the unheard and oppressed and not destroying the society in process.
3. Dalai Lama - Perhaps closest to Gandhi. Though his eternal dream continues to elude him.
4. Aung San Suu Kyi
