New Delhi: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) will contest Assembly elections in Gujarat if "people ask for it", Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said today.

"The party does not contest polls. It's the people of the state who fight it. Even in Delhi, the people spent (their own) money to bring us to power," he said while responding to a query during his maiden "Talk to AK" interaction with the public.

"Similarly, if people of Gujarat want us to contest, we will fight assembly elections in the state," said Mr Kejriwal, who is also national convenor of the AAP.

The party would hold a meeting in Gujarat in the next two or three months to decide its next move in the state, he said.
