Senior NCP leader Praful Patel today rejected reports that he is joining BJP and dubbed the suggestions as "mischevious".
"The media reports of my joining the BJP are baseless and mischevious," Patel said.
A section of the media had reported that Patel could join BJP after the results of the Lok Sabha elections are announced.
They had also suggested that he would resign from the Gondia seat and contest again on a BJP ticket from the same constituency.
