Apart from the Congress and the BJP which had bagged 28 and 21 seats respectively, National Peoples Party (NPP) has won four.
The Naga People's Front, which has an alliance with the BJP in Nagaland, too bagged four seats.
Lok Jan Shakti Party too won a seat.
Asked if the Congress is open to an alliance with the NPF, Haokip said, "The Congress will never go for an alliance with the NPF and the BJP.
We are open for alliance with any other party" .
On his party not being able to reach the majority mark, Haokip alleged massive rigging and booth capturing by NSCN(IM) in favour of NPF and BJP in several seats.
"The NSCN(IM) in order to defeat the Congress, had resorted to massive rigging and booth capturing in various seats in favour of the BJP and the NPF candidates.
Plus the money power too had played a vital role in favour of the BJP" .
