Both Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Congress have planned their star campaigners for upcoming Lok Sabha elections in Gujarat. BJP has come up with the list of party's 40 star campaigners for the state. The list begins with the name of the prime minister Narendra Modi and ends with the name of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi whose biopic movie on the PM is waiting for Supreme Court's nod for the release.
Oberoi made a surprise entry into the list of BJP's star campaigners amidst the condition when his film on the prime minister is under controversy. It is noteworthy that Oberoi was never on the board of the party's campaigners.
Besides this, party has also included Bollywood actors like Hema Malini who is candidate from Mathura seat, Paresh Rawal and Manoj Joshi (both having Gujarati origin).

Whereas Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath, Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadanvis, Gujarat CM Vijay Rupani, former CM of Madhya Pradesh Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Rajasthan Ex-CM Vasundhara Raje.

The party has included the community leaders like Hardik Patel and Alpesh Thakor in the list to woo the voters. Both of them actively led agitations in Gujarat for different issues related to Patidars and Other Backward Class (OBC) respectively. Congress party managed to make a significant comeback in Gujarat's politics during assembly polls held in 2017 by presenting both of these leaders before the voters of state.
