Rahul Gandhi Directed to Vacate Official Residence After Disqualification from Parliament

The Lok Sabha Housing Committee has officially communicated with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, requesting him to vacate his residence located at 12 Tughlaq Lane by April 22.

This request comes in light of standard operating procedures for the allotment of government accommodations, which stipulate that such residences should be vacated once a member of Parliament ceases to hold office. Rahul Gandhi, who previously served as the President of the Indian National Congress and a Member of Parliament, lost his tenure in the 2019 general elections.

It is common for MPs to be allotted government housing during their term, and upon its conclusion, they are required to vacate the premises. The committees notice aims to adhere to these regulations and manage the allocation of housing for current members. Further context regarding the implications of this request and any potential responses from Rahul Gandhi or his representatives will likely unfold in the coming days.
