Ministers from the party abstained from the program held to observe the day

At the sanitation program organized in Janakpurdham, chief minister, ministers, and state ministers stayed away from the function.

A meeting of Province 2 government held on September 3 had formed the Constitution Day Celebration Main Organising Committee led by the chief minister. The banner showed Province 2 government was the organizer of the program, but none was present from the province government.

The sanitation program was launched from Zero Mile to Bus Park and pamphlets against dengue were distributed in Janakpurdham. Despite the fact that the provincial government had formed the main organizing committee, the CM and other ministers abstained from taking part in the program as Samajbadi Party-Nepal decided to stay silent.

Samajbadi Party Province 2 Chair Bijay Yadav said his party did not have any function to mark Constitution Day. “We are neither supporting nor protesting the Constitution Day,” said Yadav, who is also minister of financial affair and planning.

Rastriya Janata Party-Nepal, however, decided to observe Constitution Day as a black day.
