Mizoram: Zoramthanga, President of the Mizo National Front (MNF) says: "Since I am going to form the government now, my first priorities will be three things '" to impose prohibition on liquor, repair roads and implement Social Economic Development Programme which is our flagship programme. We will not have any coalition govt either with BJP or any other ways because my party can form the govt on its own as we have got 26 seats out of 40. We're a part of NEDA (North-East Democratic Alliance) & NDA, but we wouldn't like to join Congress or UPA."

The Mizo National Front returned to power in Mizoram after 10 years Tuesday, capturing 26 seats in the 40-member Assembly and inflicting a humiliating defeat on the Congress.
