The NCP (SP) agreed to contest fewer seats than its Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) allies during the Lok Sabha elections but the situation would be different in the assembly polls, a party leader has quoted its supremo Sharad Pawar as saying, reported news agency PTI.

Sharad Pawar held two meetings in Pune on Friday, one with the party's functionaries from Pune city and district, and another with its MLAs and newly-elected MPs.
