He said that in a situation of a hung assembly, NPP with few numbers would be able to play a very important role in the formation of the government. He said that NPP is fighting the battle of its own and has no alliance or understanding with any political parties.

"We have our own identity and ideology as a political party. In the past elections also we had no alliance with any political party. We believe in propagating the message of our party to the people Mizoram. Post election we will look at the interest of the State and partner with a party that believes in taking Mizoram forward," he said.
