Rebel BJP MLA demands Raje vacate govt bungalow

Jaipur: Citing the Supreme Court order against life-long possession of government bungalows by former chief ministers, rebel Rajasthan BJP MLA Ghanshyam Tiwari on Friday demanded that Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje vacate the accommodation that she has allegedly occupied in addition to the official residence of the CM.

Tiwari on Friday submitted a memorandum to Governor Kalyan Singh at Raj Bhawan, alleging that Raje has misused her privileges to "encroach" on bungalow number 13 in Civil Lines area here as a former chief minister, as she is simultaneously using the official CM residence -- bungalow number 8.

Speaking to reporters outside the Raj Bhawan, Tiwari claimed that the governor said that Supreme Court ruling is the law of the land and applies in the entire country.

The Governor said he has already vacated the government bungalow allotted to him as a former chief minister in Lucknow, Ghanshyam Tiwari, president of the Deen Dayal Vahini, said.
