MUMBAI: The party is planning to contest 25 seats, of which candidates for 11 have already been declared.

Following the split in the party last year, NCP is looking to regain its national party status, for which it has been contesting elections outside Maharashtra, but failing miserably to register any success, except in Arunachal Pradesh.

It had contested Jammu and Kashmir and Jharkhand assembly elections on 35 and 25 seats respectively, but could not get even one seat. In Arunachal Pradesh, however, it won three out of the 14 seats it contested.

In Delhi, the party is planning to contest 25 seats, said the party's national spokesperson, Brijmohan Shrivastava.

"We wanted to contest the Delhi polls as a National Democratic Alliance (NDA) front, but BJP thinks otherwise. Hence, the party has started preparation to fight the polls alone," he said.

The party has already declared candidates for Burari, Badli, Mangol Puri, Chandni Chowk, Balli Maran, Chhatarpur, Sangam Vihar, Okhla, Laxmi Nagar, Seema Puri and Gokal Puri constituencies.
