The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) will be fighting 144 seats in the forthcoming Assembly elections in Maharashtra. The party’s alliance with Congress continues and it is not considering fighting the elections independently, said Deputy Chief of Maharashtra and senior party NCP leader Ajit Pawar on Monday.
Pawar said that the party was ready with its list of candidates, which will include sitting MLAs and aspiring leaders. The final decisions about seating sharing would be taken by senior party leaders such as Sharad Pawar, Praful Patel and Tariq Anwar in New Delhi, he said.
