When asked if AAP's national leaders like Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia and Shazia Ilmi would visit the state or not, AAP's state convener said it cannot be said at this juncture.
"We wish that they should come to the state, but as they are themselves busy campaigning we cannot make a statement at this juncture," AAP's state convener Sukhdev Patel said.
"Arvind Kejriwal, Manish Sisodia or Shazia Ilmi's demand is increasing from every state. They will spare time to come here in Gujarat if it is convenient for them," Patel said.
Earlier, AAP had announced that it would field its candidates from all 26 Lok Sabha seats in Gujarat.
However, after one candidate's nomination was rejected and another's candidature was withdrawn by the party, it will fight elections from on 24 Lok Sabha seats.
