Asked Why She Is Not Contesting Polls, Ahmed Patel's Daughter Says This

Gujarat election: The polling is taking place in 89 constituencies spread across 19 Kutch, Saurashtra and South Gujarat districts.

"We are advocating a change. There is a neck-to-neck fight here (Ankleshwar) yet I am confident that Congress will win," said Mumtaz Patel.

Mumtaz Patel voted at a polling booth in Ankleshwar, Bharuch.

When asked about not contesting the elections this year, she said that she needs time to understand and would first like to observe things.
