Congress leader Ahmed Patel's daughter Mumtaz Patel said today that she is open to joining politics and even contesting elections, but that she is in no rush to take the plunge. She also suggested that "major changes" were needed in the Congress, clarifying that she hasn't joined the party of her father yet.

"Politics will be a platform to work with the public. I am looking for the right space and time to get an official entry or role to be able to do that. If the public feels, then I am ready for it, and if they are willing to let me represent them, then of course, I won't say no," Ms Patel said.
"Of course, that will take time. But I am in no rush. I am here to do some good work which my father started. People have a lot of expectations from my family in Bharuch," she said, referring to Ahmed Patel's home turf.
