Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) working president and Rajya Sabha MP Praful Patel, on Thursday, announced that after the success in the recent Maharashtra assembly elections, the party would contest the Delhi assembly elections too
Patel's comments came ahead of the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his Council of Ministers.

Patel said he felt like laughing when he saw the scene where seven of 17 opposition parties present have only one MP in the Lok Sabha.
