An election is no longer perceived as an exercise "imposed" on the people. It is now viewed as an exercise to decide the fate of the state and its people. "I came to vote for the development of Dimapur-II, which is my constituency. What we need is good roads, better drinking water and uninterrupted supply of power," said 29-year-old I Imchen at Lengrijan.

"Our priority is to solve the Naga political issue so that peace returns to the state," said 53-year-old Inashe Chishi.
