Rahul Gandhi vacates government-allotted bungalow
Trucks leave Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s government-allotted bungalow at 12 Tughlak Lane for his mother and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) chairperson, MP Sonia Gandhi, at 10 Janpath.
Rahul is vacating his residence after being disqualified as a Lok Sabha MP. After being disqualified as a member of the Lok Sabha due to his conviction in a criminal defamation case in Gujarat last month, the Lok Sabha secretariat had asked him to vacate his official residence by April 22.
Gandhi was given the bungalow at 12 Tughlak Lane after winning his first Lok Sabha election from Amethi in Uttar Pradesh in 2005. The Congress leader was disqualified from the Lok Sabha on March 23, and according to the rule, a disqualified parliamentarian is not entitled to government housing and has 30 days to vacate the official bungalow.
