All three candidates filed their nomination papers before Aizawl District Deputy Commissioner Narik Kumar.
Speaking to reporters after filing nomination papers, BJP candidate Vanlalhumuaka said that other Christian states like Meghalaya and Nagaland are going to field candidates with the support of BJP so that they can have a Union Minister. He said that if the people of Mizoram vote for him, the state will get a minister at the Centre.
Meanwhile, MNF candidate and sitting Rajya Sabha MP K Vanlalvena said that he will fight for the security and protection of Mizoram state, its culture and religion. He said it is easier for all of them to fight by joining the NDA, which is a block formed by 45 parties. He asked the people of Mizoram to vote for him as he has been vocal and active in Parliament for the last three and a half years.
Meanwhile, Congress candidate Lalbiakzama said that if he wins, he will fight for the protection of Mizo culture and the candidate. He said the security of Mizoram has been compromised through measures like the Forest Conservation Amendment Act under the NDA government.
