Nagaland polls are crucial. Those not in alliance with us also want to join us. There is no possibility of the Congress winning.

The NPP may reconsider their alliance with BJP, they may take the Congress' side

The Nagaland assembly election can be seen as a battle between Chief Minister TR Zeliang belonging to Naga People's Front and his predecessor Neiphiu Rio, who was once TR Zeliang's colleague but then has launched his own party -- the NDPP (Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party).
- Neiphiu Rio, ex-Chief Minister, already elected unopposed in Nagaland
- Neiphiu Rio's NDPP, backed by BJP, predicted to win against ruling NPF
- BJP walked out of ruling NPF alliance to tie up with Rio's party
- Neiphiu Rio was elected from the only Lok Sabha seat in Nagaland in 2014
Himanta Biswa Sarma to NDTV:
- If we win Tripura and if we can regain Nagaland, have government in Meghalaya, then our expansion in North East will be complete, barring Mizoram. Today will be a big day.
- I am sure we will have majority in Nagaland with our allied partner.
- I want to concentrate only on the election result. BJP fought election with NDPP and former Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio. Confident both of us will have majority.

Jai Kumar, Congress to NDTV:
We will form government in Meghalaya. In other 2 states, Congress is not very strong. Money flowed like water in Nagaland. Congress didn't use shortcuts or money power.
In Nagaland, 349 tables in 17 centres across the state have been set up for the counting of votes, its Chief Electoral Officer Abhijit Sinha said.
Votes in Nagaland are being counted in the presence of the candidates and their agents under the supervision of the respective district returning officers and assistant returning officers, State Additional CEO N Moa Aier told news agency PTI.
Live Election Results 2018: Stakes High In Tripura, Meghalaya And NagalandCounting of votes has begun in the three north east states - Nagaland, Meghalaya and Tripura. The results of the high-stakes assembly elections in the three states will be known later today. The BJP is looking to take all the three north east states, confident of its performance after its two successive victories in Assam and Manipur in the last two years.
If the National People's Party (NPP) is to win substantial number of seats in the Meghalaya Assembly Polls, and if the BJP wins considerably, then reports suggest that the BJP could give support NPP from the outside.
Four prominent parties are fighting the poll battle in Nagaland - Nagaland People's Front (NPF), Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and Indian National Congress (INC). The BJP contested the elections in alliance with the newly-formed National Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP), led by former chief minister Neiphiu Rio. The ruling Naga People's Front (NPF) fielded 58 candidates. The BJP fielded candidates from 20 seats while Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party (NDPP) contested from 40 constituencies. Congress fielded 18 candidates in Nagaland Assembly Election 2018. In the 60-member Nagaland assembly elections, a party would need 31 seats to get a clear majority.
