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.
