“It is incumbent upon the Central Government to fulfill the commitment,” Sangma told reporters while slamming the NPP for its reaction over the non-listing of amendment to the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution in the business of the ongoing budget session of Parliament
“It (NPP) thought it is a good chance to attack the Government,” Sangma said.
