Once again a political battle has erupted in Bihar politics over a government bungalow. The ultimatum given by the NDA government of Nitish Kumar and Samrat Chaudhary to senior Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Chief Minister Rabri Devi to vacate the government bungalow is ending today. With the end of this deadline, the discussion has intensified in the political circles of Patna whether Rabri Devi will vacate her official residence today or will there be a new legal or political impasse on this issue between RJD and the government.
Strict stance of Samrat Chaudhary government, citing rules
Samrat Chaudhary, Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and handling the building construction department, had made it clear as soon as he assumed office that no leader would be allowed to occupy government properties contrary to the rules. The government’s argument is that the old rule of giving bungalows to former Chief Ministers for life has been changed, hence houses will be allotted only according to the current post or eligibility. The last ultimatum till date was given to Rabri Devi by the government after the notice related to dues and cancellation of house allotment, due to which there is huge resentment in the RJD camp.
RJD’s counterattack: Accusation of deliberately harassing the opposition
Rashtriya Janata Dal spokespersons and leaders have raised serious questions on the intentions of the government on this entire matter. RJD says that Rabri Devi is not only the former Chief Minister, but she is also handling the responsibility of Leader of Opposition in Bihar Legislative Council. The opposition alleges that Samrat Chaudhary and the NDA government are working in the spirit of political malice and such notices are being sent deliberately to mentally harass the Lalu family. According to RJD leaders, further decisions will be taken only within the framework of rules.
Will administrative turmoil increase in VVIP zone of Patna?
Due to the expiry of the deadline of this ultimatum today, there has been an increase in the hustle and bustle in the administrative departments of 10 Circular Road and its surrounding areas with VVIP security in Patna. If the process of vacating the bungalow does not start by this evening, then the team of Building Construction Department and District Administration may consider taking further legal steps. Even before in the politics of Bihar, during the era of Ramkripal Yadav, Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan, there has been a lot of lathicharge and statements on ‘Bangla Politics’, in such a situation, the developments regarding this residence of Rabri Devi can take a more interesting turn in the coming days.
