Government to abide by constitution: NC lawmaker Singh

He added that they were compelled to move ahead following political and constitutional courses after the then government violated constitutional norms and general practices as well.

He also ironized then KP Sharma Oli led government for not materializing its agendas, including operation of railway and ships.
